Dubai, Oman: EY F, WY Y, QR J, and some hotels

My wife and I decided to visit the middle east for a week. It's an area of the world we've never experienced, for one, and because I had a stash of Chase UR points I wanted to use. Qatar Air (QR) was coming off of being a United codeshare partner so it was a perfect excuse to redeem.

The trip went as:
First we traded AA miles for EY F from JFK-AUH.
Then we stayed two nights at the Radisson Royal Dubai, and two nights at the Hilton Diera Dubai Creek.
Then we took a short, cheap flight DXB-MCT on Oman Air (WY). In Muscat we had one unplanned night at the Intercontinental, and two nights at the Hyatt.
Our return was long: MCT-DOH-YUL on QR then YUL-DCA-CHS on US. This ticket on a points redemption from UA (via Chase UR).

If anything this trip proved to me the amazing versatility of UR, and I have new faith in that program.
