FFB’s City Bonus Highlight looks at route bonuses to/from a
particular city as well as select bonuses for staying in hotels in or
around that city. This week is a first as I have never featured a Middle Eastern city on FFB and this week I look at Dubai

In fact Emirates has even more than what is listed below with their Miles Accelerator offers, I have selected a few so as not to make this chart too big for this post and only from Dubai although most of these bonuses are available in the other direction.
