As I progress past 30% of completing every current Emirates Routes, I’d like to share my third featured destinations—Conakry, Guinea, and Dakar, Senegal!
Emirates’s triangle route serving Conakry and Dakar is an awesome experience as you get to see various biomes through Africa. This is also one of only 2 triangle routes that Emirates currently operates (the other being the Clark-Cebu service in Philippines).
Fun fact, IRL the flight number never changes even upon its return to Dubai after the two stops!

These triangle/fifth freedom/one stop routes are always really enjoyable I’ve got an entire notebook filled with ones to do!
