Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the volcanic landscapes of eastern Ethiopia, the coral reefs of the Red Sea, and the iconic city skyline during the approach into Kuwait.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Danakil Depression

Views toward the volcanic landscapes and salt flats of the Afar Triangle.

🏝️

Farasan Islands

A beautiful archipelago of coral islands scattered in the deep blue Red Sea.

⛰️

Sarawat Mountains

The massive mountain range that runs along the western coast of Saudi Arabia.

🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

Panoramic views of the Kuwait Towers and the urban sprawl along the Persian Gulf.

🚤

Persian Gulf

Sparkling turquoise waters and tankers during the final descent into KWI.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, highlighting the colors of the Red Sea and the Saudi mountains. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the best views of the Kuwaiti coast and the city center.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Simien Mountains

Dramatic, jagged peaks of the Ethiopian Highlands visible shortly after departure.

🌊

Sudanese Coastline

The rugged and arid western edge of the Red Sea as the flight moves north.

🏜️

An-Nafud Desert

Stunning views of the vast reddish sand dunes in the northern Arabian Peninsula.

🛢️

Northern Saudi Industrial Zones

Large-scale infrastructure and oil-related facilities near the Kuwaiti border.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides excellent views of the deep gorges in the Ethiopian plateau and the transition from fertile highlands to the harsh Sahara-adjacent deserts of Sudan.
