ADE → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Aden International Airport (Aden) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior combination of the Gulf of Aden's coastal beauty, the most dramatic dunes of the Empty Quarter, and the best vantage point for the Doha skyline on standard approach patterns.
Gulf of Aden
Sweeping views of the deep blue coastline and turquoise shallows immediately after takeoff.
Rub' al Khali
The 'Empty Quarter' provides mesmerizing views of the world's largest contiguous sand desert.
Persian Gulf Reefs
Clear views of underwater sandbanks and coral formations as you approach the Qatari peninsula.
Doha West Bay
Unmatched views of the futuristic skyscraper cluster and the Corniche during final approach.
This is the best side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the desert. For the best view of the Doha skyline, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your photo composition isn't blocked by the engine.
Aden Crater
Aerial view of the ancient dormant volcano where the historic district of Aden is built.
Yemeni Highlands
Jagged and rugged mountain terrain characterizing the interior of the southern Arabian Peninsula.
Ad-Dahna Desert
Vast stretches of reddish-to-gold sand dunes visible as the flight moves northward.
Lusail City
The modern cityscape and the iconic golden stadium visible during the northern descent into Doha.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and heat haze. Watch closely during the first 10 minutes of flight to catch the unique volcanic geography of the Aden peninsula.
