One of my favorite things (okay, the only thing) to do while waiting for takeoff is to examine the airplane safety instructions. You can gain some unique cultural insights, if the airplane you're riding is regional (for example, in India, the fleeing female passengers keep their sensible pumps firmly fastened to their feet, whereas the male passengers are allowed to ditch their shoes).
FlyDubai didn't have safety instructions in the seatback in front of me. But they did have a rather hilarious video. You know you're in the Middle East when the stewardess' request to not smoke in the airplane or airplane lavatories is met with such sheer disbelief:
