The Sandbox or Air Canada ?
I worked (contract ) for Saudia back in 1990 for one year and lived in Jeddah. I know that's not the same as Dubai but I flew to many of the cities in and around the "sandbox". With that said, In 1991 another contract took us to Nairobi, Kenya and the day we arrived there we hugged each other, cryed a little ( in joy of coarse) and got down and Kissed the ground, then got plastered. Even though we were still operating flights into the "sandbox" during the War, liveing in Nairobi was like Heaven compared to Jeddah. I have no desire to ever return to the "sandbox" and would starve to death first. Some people I've met loved it over there. To each there own. I would certainly take Air Canada if it were me.
