So while the route itself is correct (peering through Etisalat UAE), the pings are significantly higher than usual, try this trace route during the day and it'll probably be much lower. It was just around 40 ms a while back.
It's 9.33 AM on Saturday, and... nope.

Trace complete.
Apparently, it's happening with me and another (possibly fiber?) connection I tested elsewhere. It's not happening with DSL connections. Why? I have no idea. It's also not happening on Nexlinx's network tools page (in case you don't know, it's their version of the Looking Glass - lg.nexlinx.net.pk - which lets you do some TW and PIE-related tests).
One more thing: Cloudfare's DNS doesn't support eDNS - in short, the DNS server won't give you the IPs which it thinks are closer to you. Yes, 1.1.1.1 is taking you to the UAE but try pinging ax.itunes.apple.com - and you get an IP that's elsewhere. Whereas for Google, OpenDNS or your local ISP's DNS, it would redirect you to your local Akamai mirror. OTOH, sometimes, your local ISP's DNS server doesn't give you the best IP, and sometimes, Google/OpenDNS don't give you the best IP - but you have a better chance with Google's.
Cloudfare, as part of their privacy pact, won't give IPs nearer to your "internet location".
