Which side of the plane to sit from Abha Regional Airport (Abha) to Tabuk Airport (Tabuk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to Saudi Arabia's dramatic geological transition from the high-altitude green peaks of the south to the spectacular volcanic fields and red-sand landscapes of the north.

Sarawat Mountains
The rugged, high-altitude peaks surrounding Abha that form the backbone of the Arabian Peninsula.
Harrat Rahat
A massive, ancient volcanic field with hundreds of craters and dark basaltic lava flows stretching across the landscape.
Medina Outskirts
Views of the holy city of Medina as the plane passes over the central Hijaz region.
White Volcanoes
The rare and striking light-colored volcanic cones of Harrat Khaybar, including Jabal Al-Abiad.
Hisma Desert Formations
The iconic red sandstone monoliths and desert sculptures that characterize the approach into Tabuk.
The right side is superior for geological enthusiasts. Book a morning flight to see the shadows emphasize the craters and mountain ridges. Keep your camera ready mid-flight for the 'White Volcanoes' of Khaybar, which are a rare geographic feature. As you descend into Tabuk, look for the sharp change from black lava fields to vibrant red desert sands.

Red Sea Coastline
Stunning views of the azure Red Sea waters and the white sandy fringes of the Tihama coastal plain.
Jeddah Skyline
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Jeddah and the world's tallest fountain can be spotted along the shore.
Yanbu Industrial Port
The geometric layouts of one of the world's most strategic shipping and industrial hubs on the coast.
Coral Reefs
Glittering turquoise patches in the deep blue sea indicating the massive reef systems near the shoreline.
Sit on the left during afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be setting over the Red Sea. This side provides excellent visibility of the coastal cities and the transition from mountain to sea. Bring polarized sunglasses to better see the colors of the coral reefs through the water's surface.
