Dubai → Gulf → Iran → Pakistan → India

Pick the car up in Dubai and turn east. Down the Oman coast, across the Empty Quarter, then Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq. Iran from Tehran to Bandar Abbas, and the first shipping leg from there to Karachi. Pakistan by the Karakoram Highway to Hunza, then India through Wagah and on to Delhi.

Planned distance: 10,780 km. Day-level planning for this leg has not been done yet — the dates and the route are from the plan; the days are not invented to fill the space.
