Kuwait overfly
Enroute to Dubai I overfly Iraq and Kuwait. The chart has a note to call
Kuwait 10min prior to Fir boundary. Does that note apply returning from
UAE thru Kuwait? I have never heard anyone call Kuwait 10min prior
On the return trip. Thanks

I know and never heard anyone do that either. Does Bahrain ACC take care of that northbound and (Riyadh West even?) Baghdad southbound in terms of ATC talking to each other or a handover to the next sector at like 80nm ish before FIR entry/exit? Just thinking out loud...

It is a requirement to call in advance. Besides, the local controllers appreciate a "knock on the door" before you enter their areas.
My two cents .... been in the region for a long time.

Not a bad idea to give Baghdad a jingle beforehand but usually the Kuwaitis just hand you off..and vice-versa...never had an issue fly the route all the time.. same when entering from Turkish airspace...

Read the en route charts, contact 10 before entering okac fir in the notes section iPad with the jepp app makes this stuff easier though. Do use secondary com until handover though.
