- *Via Dubai (DXB)** – Emirates is popular for this route
Dubai offers that futuristic cityscape contrast to both Seoul and NYC
Great for luxury shopping, impressive architecture, and that “only in Dubai” energy
**Via Doha (DOH** – Qatar Airways often has good connections
Doha’s got this interesting blend of traditional souks and ultra-modern districts
The new National Museum is stunning if you’re into cultural immersion
