So what would be the sightseeing program on such a cruise trip?
Monday: clouds
Tuesday: clouds
Wednesday: more clouds
Thursday: clouds, maybe pink clouds in the evening
Friday: preparation for the next weeks sightseeing tour (… more clouds..)
The Chinese regime is happy that there are no more long noses traveling to China. Simple as that.

Jump to postTK will be your only one-stop option from HAJ. Could try EK from HAM, but you won't arrive in the morning, and if you don't think SIN is a good option, then you'll hate DXB Why doesn't SIN sound like a good option?
