Emirates has announced the addition of a new service connecting Dubai with the city of Mashhad in Iran. This service will begin September 1 and operate five times a week. The inclusion of this route will be the airline’s second link with the country.

The new service will benefit passengers flying into and out of Dubai from around the globe. The city offers key connections throughout the area and beyond, making it an important international hub.
