With a full fleet of 103 airframes, the Boeing 777 is the backbone of the megacarrier. The fleet plies long-haul routes to Sharqiyyah's flagship destinations as well as shorter routes to Asia and the Middle East. With some examples being configured with 155 economy seats up to a staggering 360 over six different variants, the type is also extremely flexible, allowing it to be assigned onto more premium- or economy-heavy routes.
The Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has been sponsored by Sharqiyyah Airways since 2011 for over 350 million dirhams a year. In 2013, the airline painted a 777-300ER, A6-SKJ, in a Hotspurs livery to promote their partnership with the club. A6-SKJ can often be seen flying to various airports around the UK, including both Gatwick and Heathrow gateways served by the airline. A6-SKJ is beloved by football and aviation fans worldwide.
Less beloved is A6-SHS, another 777-300ER painted in a Dubai livery to promote the airline's main base. The livery consists of a Dubai skyline painted on the forward fuselage with the Dubai logo in red and gold. This livery is one of the least popular Sharqiyyah special liveries out there, despite it being applied to one of Sharqiyyah's most premium-heavy 777s.

The Dubai livery could've been much better executed... for example if you made the belly straight (maybe even left the grayish part curved, but continued the gold part forward in a straight line) and then made the skyline extend out of that, instead of an odd floating rectangle. Also the Dubai logo would've looked a lot better if it was black and gold instead of red and gold...or at least if the gold was darker. It kind of blends in from a distance and you can only clearly see the red part.
EDIT: I made my comment too pessimistic - the base livery is quite nice, and the Tottenham one isn't bad. It's just that the Dubai special is kinda underwhelming (which you yourself referenced in the lore) and I do think that an airline based in Dubai would take more pride in its home city...
