Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of coastal Mediterranean views, the lush transition of the Nile Delta, the unique geography of the Dead Sea, and the sparkling coastline of the Persian Gulf during the descent into Dubai.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Mediterranean Coastline

Stunning views of the Algerian and Tunisian shores shortly after takeoff.

🌿

Nile Delta

The dramatic contrast between the fertile green delta of Egypt and the surrounding arid desert.

🧂

The Dead Sea

View the distinct turquoise waters and salt formations of the world's lowest land point.

🏙️

Kuwait City

Clear views of the Kuwaiti capital and its iconic towers as you enter the Persian Gulf.

🏝️

The World Islands

Aerial perspective of the man-made archipelagos off the coast of Dubai during the final approach.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Nile Delta. This flight often departs mid-day, so the northern exposure (left side) will have less direct sun glare, making it better for photography. Watch for the Dead Sea approximately 4 hours into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏜️

Sahara Sand Dunes

The vast orange dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental stretching across the horizon.

🐍

The Nile River

A winding ribbon of life cutting through the Egyptian desert landscape.

⛰️

Sinai Peninsula

Rugged red granite mountains and the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Suez.

🏙️

Riyadh

The sprawling lights and modern architecture of the Saudi capital if the path trends south.

🗼

Burj Khalifa

Often visible on the right during the final bank before landing at DXB.

The right side is excellent for viewing the desert's shifting colors at sunset if on a late afternoon flight. However, expect significant sun glare during most of the eastbound journey. Be ready with your camera as the plane descends over the UAE, as the right side often catches the Burj Khalifa during the pattern entry.
