Most people fly, though there's nothing to stop you going overland if you like. There is frequent bus service between Turkey and the Gulf countries. And if you've got the time and the stamina, you can also drive down from Europe. Another option is a cruise. Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is turning itself into a luxury cruise port and major lines are setting up offices there.Photo: Emirates jets at Dubai Airport.
Emirates Airlines is a classy airline servicing the Middle East and other world destinations. They provide a quality service on all flights. i caught a flight from Malta to Dubai with them.
