AMM → BAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic sand dunes of the Great Nafud Desert and a prime perspective of the King Fahd Causeway during the descent into Bahrain.
Great Nafud Desert
Stunning views of the massive, reddish sand dunes of northern Saudi Arabia, featuring unique crescent patterns.
Saudi Oil Infrastructure
Clusters of industrial sites and flares marking the vast energy fields of the Saudi Eastern Province.
Al Khobar Waterfront
The modern coastline and parks of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province just before crossing into Bahraini airspace.
King Fahd Causeway
The spectacular 25-kilometer series of bridges and embankments connecting Saudi Arabia to Bahrain.
Manama Financial Harbour
The iconic twin towers and Bahrain World Trade Center skyscrapers visible during the final moments of descent.
The right side is essential for the iconic view of the King Fahd Causeway. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for the best photography of the bridge and the Dammam/Khobar coastline about 10-15 minutes before landing.
Amman Urban Sprawl
The dense, white limestone architecture of Jordan's capital fading into the eastern desert plains.
Hamad Desert
Vast stretches of the Syrian Desert plateau characterized by flat, rocky terrain and remote outpost roads.
Distant Kuwait City
On very clear days, the silhouette of Kuwait's coastal skyline may be visible far to the north across the Gulf.
Northern Persian Gulf
The deep blue waters of the upper Gulf as the aircraft begins its approach toward the island nation.
Sit on this side during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct sun while looking south. It provides a clearer view of the remote desert interior of the northern Arabian Peninsula.
