Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
12 hours from NYC to Riyadh. The trip would probably have been perfect if the airline served alcohol! I would fly Air Saudia again.
Dubai is a contrast between old and new. This is the view from our hotel room.
It’s sort of off the beaten path, but taxis are plentiful and inexpensive, so getting around is easy. It’s a much welcome respite from the noise of air travel.
