Nice TR, although not my cup of tea. On the PC so I can't use the proper emoji, but you know where I'm going. ;)
Very, very nice pics and flight reports! You probably could even be a blogger.
Maybe one day I'll convince you!!

Excellent TR!

So if you had a choice between EK A380 F and EY 777 F which one would you take?
Hands down EK A380 F

Awesome TR!! Sounds very tempting!
We've been through this already, you still need me to convince you?

Very nice TR... Can you share how you booked all the flights? which miles/points?
and i definitely wouldn't have the guts to go to even one of those Arab countries never mind 3 of them... But the pics are stunning, those muslims sure decorate their mosques...

Wow, D, great TR! Too bad the RJ flight didn't open up, but I'm glad you made it back to Israel safe.

When you don't have to pay for chairs or tables you have a bigger budget for decor

TLV-AMM = 9k BA
AMM-DXB-DFW = 90k AS
DFW-LAX = 12.5k FB

LAX-AUH-AMM-TLV = 90k AA

What should I say, you're missing out.

Very nice TR. I agree with the other poster that the North Pole pic was the best of all. I can't believe you weren't freaked out standing in a mosque with 1000 Arabs?!

I doubt he was running around with a black hat and tzitzis hanging out yelling "come and get me".

Why should he have been afraid?

Wasn't "freaked out" for second.

I sat and shmoozed with plenty of Arabs while I was there and with all my cab drivers as well. They have no idea what a Jew looks like.

So what exactly should I have been "freaked out" about?
