AMM → DMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to King Fahd International Airport (Dammam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally preferred for its views of the eastern Jordanian oases, the striking red sands of the Ad-Dahna desert, and the scenic coastal approach over the Persian Gulf.

Al-Azraq Wetlands
A unique oasis and wetland reserve located in the eastern desert of Jordan shortly after takeoff.
Ad-Dahna Desert
Observe the distinctive narrow strip of high-altitude red sand dunes connecting the north and south deserts.
Jubail Industrial City
One of the world's largest industrial hubs visible near the coast during the initial descent.
Tarout Bay
Beautiful views of the turquoise Persian Gulf waters and Tarout Island as the plane turns for final approach.
King Abdulaziz Port
The massive shipping infrastructure and container terminals of the Dammam coast.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing better visibility of the desert textures. Look for the contrast between the harsh desert and the blue Gulf waters about 20 minutes before landing. In summer, dust can obscure the view, so flights immediately after rain or in winter offer the highest clarity.

Jordanian Highlands
Rugged mountainous terrain and deep wadis south of Amman immediately after departure.
Great Nafud Desert
The northern edge of one of the largest sand seas in the Arabian Peninsula.
Al-Ahsa Oasis
Depending on the flight path, you may see the massive green expanse of the world's largest date palm oasis.
Dhahran & Khobar
The sprawling urban landscape and headquarters of Saudi Aramco during the landing sequence.
Half Moon Bay
The iconic crescent-shaped bay south of Dammam, visible if the flight patterns circle from the south.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare. Keep an eye out for 'pivot irrigation' circles in the desert which look like green geometric patterns against the sand. If the aircraft approaches DMM from the south, this side offers the best view of the Khobar seafront.
