Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most scenic approach into Doha, featuring the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, the man-made Pearl-Qatar island, and the futuristic skyline of Lusail.

Amman Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the white limestone buildings spread across the hills of the Jordanian capital shortly after takeoff.
Al-Nafud Desert
The striking red sand dunes of northern Saudi Arabia, visible for a significant portion of the cruise.
Arabian Gulf Entrance
The transition from the arid Arabian Peninsula to the vibrant blue-green waters of the gulf.
Lusail City
A clear view of Qatar's newest city, including the iconic Lusail Stadium and crescent-shaped towers.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate patterns of the man-made archipelago, best seen during the final minutes of the descent.
For the most dramatic views, opt for a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the sand dunes and the Doha skyline with a golden glow. The left side is consistently better for spotting Qatar's coastal developments, though glare can be an issue if flying early in the morning.

Jordanian Desert Highlands
Rugged mountain ranges and dry wadis south of Amman visible during the initial climb.
Trans-Arabian Pipelines
The geometric patterns of infrastructure and roads cutting through the vast Saudi interior.
Industrial Jubail
The sprawling industrial zones and ports of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province near the coast.
West Bay Skyline
A view of Doha's primary business district and its cluster of modern skyscrapers if landing from the south.
Al Janoub Stadium
The distinct architectural curves of the Zaha Hadid-designed stadium near Al Wakrah.
The right side is ideal for passengers interested in the vastness of the Arabian desert. If the flight lands from the south (runway 34), this side offers a better view of the Doha Corniche and West Bay. Ensure you have your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best lighting on the desert sand.
