YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAcross the Middle East, stranded travelers are being forced to improvise byzantine routes out of the widening war zone as commercial airlines put most of their regional services on hold. #iran #politics #trump #israel #worldnews #middleeast #usa
The barrages of missiles and interceptors flying over the hubs of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha forced nations to close their airspaces, putting the onus on visitors to chart their own ways home. Those odysseys typically involve make-shift arrangements, long drives through the desert — and often considerable sums of cash.
Among those navigating their way home was Kalie Moore, who found herself stuck in Doha after a safari in Kenya. Just as she was ready to board her connecting flight back to Berlin, the projectiles started flying, and Qatar closed its airspace. After waiting with thousands of other passengers at the airport, she checked into a nearby hotel, where the staff gave strict instructions to stay inside.
