I left Dubai for my pilot training course just 10 days before the war began— an event that has since affected the entire Gulf region and beyond. But my thoughts never left.

This post is a tribute to the resilience, professionalism, and dedication of the people who works in aviation.

Deep respect to those working through these challenging times — Stay safe, especially those keeping the world connected.
 Eid Mubarak 🌙 World Peace 🙏

Aviation heaven in the Arizona desert ✈️

I finally made it to the legendary Pima Air & Space Museum. Walking among hundreds of historic aircraft — from classic airliners to powerful military jets — felt like stepping through the timeline of aviation.

And yes! You can walk up to any plane and take a close up look! Let me know which one is your favorite plane there?

My dream came true ✈️✨

Dubai and UAE 🇦🇪 has been my home and base for the past 15 years, and I’ve always dreamed of seeing inside the world’s busiest international airport. That moment finally came.

From 6am to midnight, I was airside capturing nonstop movements, operations, and pure aviation madness — not a single quiet moment. The sheer volume of traffic blew me away.

@dxb is truly a playground for aviation lovers. If you’re an avgeek… this is the ultimate dream. More to come! ✈️🎥
