I’m thinking about this trip, with all the transportation arranged by a tour operator, to pass through many of the countries of the old silk road.
The least expensive flights are with Turkish Airlines including a connection in Istanbul, a city I love, but the second least expensive flights are with Emirates that connect through Dubai. Maybe I could manage a day or two in Dubai, snuggled as it is between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
I’m thinking to go in September, and these days, September is a very long time from now.
