Wadi Sirhan
A vast geographic depression in the desert stretching from Jordan into northern Saudi Arabia.
Persian Gulf Coast

Sharjah Skyline
Clear views of the neighboring emirate's dense urban layout and lagoons during the final approach.
Burj Khalifa & Downtown
Unmatched views of the world's tallest building and the dense skyscraper cluster of Sheikh Zayed Road.
For the best experience, book a flight arriving just before sunset to see the desert glow and the city lights flicker on. Seats forward of the wing are ideal to avoid engine heat haze. On the approach to DXB, the plane often flies parallel to the coast, making the left side perfect for spotting the Burj Khalifa.
