I have read the routing, and I think I understand that you cannot visit both JNB and MLE because you would be transiting DXB three times? Is this correct? ZRH to JNB, JNB to MLE and finally MLE onward.

Also, could Arabian airpasses be bought in conjunction with this ticket from Emirates to explore the Middle East specifically DAM, AMM and MCT?

One of my children would turn 12 during the round the world trip. Would he qualify for the child's discount if travel commenced before his birthday? Or could he qualify for part childs fare for the part before his birthday (the majority) and part adult fare after?

Thanks.
