Emirates is a strange one as the other airlines from UAE are all flying to Qatar now.
The DOH-DXB prices are a complete joke right now. For my next trip to Dubai in a couple of months time I am just going to drive there, will save me a small fortune!
Quite funny because there were flights from Tel Aviv to Doha during the World Cup but not from Bahrain. Emirates, on the other hand, is a strange case as you had mentioned. You can book flights from Doha on emirates.com but all of the DOH-DXB flights are operated by FlyDubai on behalf of EK.
