Fly from Cairo International Airport (HECA) to Dubai International Airport (OMDB) in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: a medium length flight that covers about 1,398 nautical miles (2,589 km, 1,609 statute miles). Allow about 3h 6m in the air in the Airbus A340. That works out at an average groundspeed of around 451 knots over the whole flight. Cruise is planned at FL410 (41,000 ft). The plan is filed under IFR rules. OMAA is listed as the alternate.
Leaving HECA you head east. The straight line distance between the two airports is about 1,305 nautical miles, so the planned route is around 7% longer, as you would expect when following airways and standard routes. Cairo International Airport sits at 322 ft and Dubai International Airport at 62 ft above sea level, which is worth knowing when you set your approach and landing performance.
The route uses 6 waypoints, from CVO to ATBOR. The highest altitude set on any waypoint is FL410 (41,000 ft).
Fuel planning covers taxi fuel of 600 KG, 5% contingency, 2,864 KG for the alternate and a final reserve of 18,068 KG, so you can check your own loadsheet against it before you start.
