Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Persian Gulf coastline and the Kuwait City skyline during the final approach, along with interesting desert formations in Northern Saudi Arabia.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏜️

Badia Desert

Expansive views of the Jordanian and Syrian desert borders shortly after takeoff from Amman.

🏙️

Sakaka & Al Jawf

Aerial perspective of the ancient settlements and modern agricultural circles in northern Saudi Arabia.

🌊

The Persian Gulf

As the plane descends, the blue waters of the Gulf and the coastline of Kuwait come into view.

🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

Clear views of the iconic Kuwait Towers and the dense urban architecture of the capital during descent.

🏝️

Bubiyan Island

Depending on the flight path, the large, uninhabited coastal wetlands of Bubiyan may be visible to the north.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Kuwait City skyline and the Gulf during landing. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to take photos without glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct green agricultural circles in the Saudi desert midway through the flight.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🐪

Great Nefud Desert

Distant views of the vast red sand dunes stretching across the Saudi interior to the south.

🛢️

Oil Infrastructure

Visible oil rigs, pipelines, and industrial facilities that characterize the landscape near the Saudi-Kuwaiti border.

🛣️

TAPline Route

The historic Trans-Arabian Pipeline corridor can often be traced through the desert landscape.

🏭

Ahmadi Oil Fields

On approach, view the extensive oil production facilities of the Burgan field, one of the world's largest.

The right side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the desert and the industrial backbone of the region's oil economy. If flying in the late afternoon, you will experience a dramatic desert sunset, though window glare may be more intense. Watch for the flare stacks of oil fields which are particularly bright during night flights.
