How to fly there from Australia:


Birmingham is another large airport that takes direct flights from Dubai with Emirates/Qantas, which will mean for most Australians you will only be stopping the once. Other options include Qatar/Brussels Airlines (via Doha and Brussels) and Singapore/Lufthansa (via Singapore and Frankfurt).
