Marhaba from Dubai, United Arab Emirates

We left our hotel in Rome this morning around 8:45am and headed to the Leonardo DaVinci Airport. It took every minute we had to check our bags, go through immigration and get to our gate. Our plane departed Rome at 12:10 pm. We had a 5 1/2 hour flight to Doha.

We ALL 5 crashed pretty quickly. Oney was dead asleep before the wheels were even off the ground! He and Joseph have been running pretty hard. It was a very nice and comfortable plane, Qatar Airways, a Middle Eastern Company. Tons of movies, tv shows, music, games etc.

We landed a little behind schedule in Doha and had not a minute to spare either. We just boarded the plane to Dubai. It is 8:30 pm (9:30pm in Dubai). Our plane will land in Dubai at 10:40pm. We hope to be at our hotel by Midnight!

Judson and I have reflected on our Naifeh Family Adventure through Europe and are so thankful for all the wonderful memories and experiences we have had with his parents and siblings and cousins. We are now looking forward to opening our kids eyes to a little bit of their Arabic heritage these next few days in Dubai. We can already tell from the airport it is going to be a fabulous experience!

Stay tuned!
