Dubai Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown Dubai during the approach.
The Palm Islands
The world-famous man-made archipelagos, including Palm Jumeirah, visible as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Burj Al Arab

Expo City Dubai
The site of the 2020 World Expo, featuring the massive Al Wasl Dome, located right next to DWC airport.
Sit on the left (seat A) for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh Arabian sun. As you approach Dubai, the plane often follows a path that puts the skyscrapers and the coast directly in your line of sight. Dust haze is common in summer, so winter morning flights provide the crispest views of the skyline.
