Trip Report: Destination Dubai

Per the request of many, will be posting some trip updates throughout this week's journey. This picture was taken at Paris - Charles de Gaulle Airport on Thursday, getting ready to depart for Dubai.

Service on this route operated daily with an Air France Boeing 777-300.

After departing Paris and crossing the Alps above Slovenia, the plane flew over Greece and then directly into the Levant. The routing here was over Israel, Jordan, Syria and Iraq. Those four are countries not yet visited and flying over them doesn't count.

And then straight down the Persian Gulf into Dubai.

Midnight landing into DXB with the Burj Khalifa pointing into the sky downtown.

Passing the Burj Khalifa on Friday morning. Spending the morning trying to obtain a Covid-19 PCR test.

Needing the test to be able to board my cruise ship on Saturday. There is a testing centre promising results in less than 24-hours here at the huge Mall of the Emirates. They delivered!

Transportation Friday via the Dubai Metro.
