Improve the rollout
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,667 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,667 ft of the 11,795 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,859 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 777-300 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at HECA Cairo International Airport, covering 2 nm in 11 minutes. The departure roll on runway 05R was successful, with a takeoff distance of 6,686 ft, representing 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 kn. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 67 °F, with a wind speed of 3 kn at 89 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kn and a headwind of 2 kn.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,528 ft asl to 37,218 ft asl, covering 107 nm in 15 minutes. The level cruise phase began 35 miles south of Z10W Bir Hasanah, lasting 55 minutes and spanning 496 nm. Another short climb occurred 9 miles northeast of Jibalah, with the aircraft reaching an altitude of 38,902 ft and covering 20 nm in 2 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise phase, this time starting 67 miles south of OERF Rafha Domestic Airport and lasting 57 minutes while covering 523 nm.
As the flight entered the descent phase, it started 48 miles southwest of OIBV Lavan Airport, descending from 39,006 ft asl to 1,330 ft asl over 158 nm in 32 minutes. The final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport was smooth, with the aircraft landing at a good touchdown speed of 132 kn and a rate of -166 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly beyond the zone, but the alignment and landing were deemed very good overall. The local weather at the time of landing showed a temperature of 66 °F, with a wind speed of 6 kn at 200 °, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and a tailwind of 1 kn.
The total landing distance was 5,396 ft, representing 46% of the runway, with a slight misalignment of 25 ft from the centerline during rollout. After landing, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,314 nm, taking 175 minutes and utilizing 41,880 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) on runway 30L, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 488 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also good at -166 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 5,396 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold. The slight misalignment during the rollout phase was the only notable deviation from an otherwise excellent landing performance.
