AMMBAH

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

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.
