Sarawat Mountains
The massive mountain spine of the Arabian Peninsula with dramatic ridges and deep wadis.
Asir Highlands
Lush, high-altitude landscapes and juniper forests near the Saudi-Yemen border.
Abha Cityscape
The urban centers of Abha and Khamis Mushait nestled among the high mountain plateaus.
Mountain Mist
Frequent cloud inversions and fog rolling through the high mountain passes during early morning.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains. During the monsoon season (Khareef), look for unexpected patches of green in the southern highlands. This side offers the most geological variety, from volcanic rocks to mist-covered peaks.

Farasan Islands
A glimpse of the scattered coral archipelago in the southern Red Sea as you approach Saudi airspace.
Tihama Coastal Plain
The expansive, sandy flatlands that stretch between the Red Sea and the mountain foothills.
