Loading up in Dubai at a remote stand in the blistering afternoon heat


With a very light load today, we barely needed any runway to get in the air


Flying past The Palm Jumeirah on our way up to 36,000 feet


Approaching Abu Dhabi on our way towards the Saudi border


Not much to see over the vast Arabian Desert


Who’s farming out here? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:


On our descent into Jazan, over the Fayfa Mountains


First glimpse of water since departing Dubai


Buttering onto Runway 33


Unloading and preparing for the trip back to the UAE

YOU GET MY STAMP OF APPROVAL. Finally @Mort does Dubai. Nice pics I so love desert flights from DXB

Thanks!

Hooray!

I need to fly more short hauls out of Dubai - I relatively frequently do long haul overnights from DXB, but there’s so much to explore within a few hours.

Yep anytime you do more of those flights you’ll get my stamp of approval
