On December 1, 2017, I decided to book a multi-leg journey to the Middle East after having seen some fantastic Business Class fares on Emirates. After looking at the calendar, I chose the date range of Friday, 2/16 through Monday, 2/26. I knew that, besides Dubai, I wanted to stay the night at a fancy Bedouin desert resort and visit a friend in Abu Dhabi. Upon realizing how close these cities were to one another (a 1.5 hour drive), I felt like I could squeeze one more excursion in to my itinerary. Why not Oman? After seeing an incredible episode of Top Secret Swimming Holes (Travel Channel) about the country's famous Wadi Shab, I decided to begin my holiday in Muscat.

I scored a great deal on a round trip business class fare through Emirates Airlines. My purchase included: Chauffer-drive service (to/from the respective airport) before AND after each Emirates flight, and multi-city airport lounge access (Note: Because the Emirates Lounge at JFK was closed for renovations during my outbound flight on 2/16/18, I was given a voucher at check-in to use at a restaurant of my choice in JFK's Terminal 4. Pretty nice, right?).
