further input pleasae

In a CL601 last light ( OK 1am ) this morning, into RAK, passed ORAX at 270, we were slowed to 250, there was holding at DARAX.
This I assume was the reason for our "slower" arrival towards the RAV.
The radar headings to keep both wings in the UAE FIR.?
We crossed the coast at UAQ, at 6k, on a great radar heading, towards the IAF for RAK, but just told radar service terminated. I have no problem with this as I knew we were pointed perfectly, however my "boss", was very upsety at having been dumped like that.

Please Q1) was last night just so busy. Q2) keep these arrivals up, and point me at IAF. It works for me.

Best regards from RAK, a very efficient under-utised airport. Shame there is almost no parking bays.
