Ivan is right though, the Airbus A300B4 does have the range to fly from Northern Europe to the Middle East with a full payload (45000KG).Tel Aviv can be easily reached, and even Dubai is possible, but not always ! You need some help from mother nature, and you need to have an enroute alternate, since you will most definetely be low on fuel once you get there.
