Road distance Europe to Dubai
 

Hi, just starting to plan a trip from either Munich or Amsterdam to Dubai via Iran. Anybody got any idea on the exact distance via this route and timeframe we are looking at. Any other info on this most welcome. Cheers
Safe riding

I did Dubai via Iran to the UK in 2002.
It took 3 weeks and that included staying a few days in Bayern.

Total mileage was around 8,000 km to the UK. It really depends on your route and how long you stay in each place. I was limited by my holiday period but you may want to take longer.

In Iran it's worth detouring to Masuleh even though it's a bit touristy. Eastern Turkey around Ararat is very beautiful.

Dubai to Europe Trip
 

Hi there.

I am planning on driving from Dubai to UK next year and was wondering if you had any advice on planning, preparation, issues etc.

Yes, (depending on your nationality) if you're planning to go through Iran, apply very early to see if they are giving visas... relationships have worsened in the last few years.

My experience as a UK citizen:
2002: 2 weeks wait for a visa
2008: applied in May, stopped asking about it in late August when it became irrelevant

Alternatively, consider going via Saudi Arabia but there's more to see in Iran.
