Rocco was in Dubai at the time of the escalation in the Middle East. As the situation in the region worsened and numerous flights were canceled, the teenager was stuck in the metropolis on the Persian Gulf. The 14-year-old was not on his own: Louisa and a friend's parents looked after him on site. But when the situation escalated, Franjo Pooth decided to travel himself.
36 hours on the road! Through the Middle East on your own
The road to Dubai was difficult. Because the flight situation around the region was tense, Franjo Pooth first flew via Istanbul and Cairo to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, according to the picture. From there he continued the journey by car to the border of the United Arab Emirates – where a driver in an armored vehicle met him and took him to Dubai. In total, the father of the family said he was on the road for more than 36 hours. “I'm finally with my little one and Louisa. What an odyssey. I'm tired, but happy. It's all good”he told the newspaper upon his arrival.
