Dumat al-Jandal
Aerial perspective of the historic oasis and ancient stone ruins located near the departure point.
Red Sea Coastline
The stunning contrast where the golden desert meets the deep blue waters of the Red Sea.
Coastal Reef Systems
Intricate turquoise coral reef formations visible through the clear waters near the Jeddah shoreline.
Jeddah Waterfront
A bird's-eye view of the New Jeddah Corniche, high-rise buildings, and the King Fahd's Fountain.
Hajj Terminal
The iconic, award-winning white tent-structure roof of the King Abdulaziz International Airport terminal.
The right side is essential for sunset flights, as the sun dips below the Red Sea horizon. During the descent, look for the 'floating mosque' and the Jeddah Tower. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline and the distinctive Hajj terminal architecture upon arrival.

Great Nafud Desert
Vast expanses of deep orange sand dunes that dominate the northern stage of the flight.
Al-Jawf Green Circles
Unique aerial views of circular pivot irrigation fields creating emerald patterns in the desert.
Sarawat Mountain Range
The rugged eastern slopes of the Hijaz mountains providing a dramatic, rocky backdrop.
Eastern Jeddah Expansion
A view of the rapid urban sprawl and residential developments extending into the desert plains.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight of the afternoon. While less scenic than the coast, it offers better views of the unique circular agriculture patterns near Al-Jawf. Keep an eye out for the Marid Castle ruins shortly after takeoff.
