Jordanian Badia
Aerial views of the rugged, basalt-strewn desert landscapes of eastern Jordan immediately after takeoff from Amman.
Persian Gulf Coast
As the flight crosses the Arabian Peninsula, enjoy sweeping views of the turquoise waters and the industrial hubs of Jubail and Dammam.
Sharjah Corniche
During the descent, the Left Side provides a front-row seat to the high-rise clusters and waterfront of Sharjah's Khalid Lagoon.
Dubai Skyline
On clear days, the Burj Khalifa and the sprawling Dubai skyline are often visible in the distance during the final approach into SHJ.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the coastal transition from the desert to the Gulf. For evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun during the first half of the journey. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Saudi coastline for striking contrasts between blue water and tan sand.

Witness the vast, reddish sand dunes of northern Saudi Arabia, showcasing the raw beauty of the Arabian interior.
Hajar Mountains
On the descent into Sharjah, the rugged, dark peaks of the Hajar mountain range emerge to the east.
UAE Inland Dunes
View the deep orange sands and fossil dunes of the UAE's central region as the plane maneuvers for landing.
The right side is ideal for desert purists who enjoy the undulating patterns of the Great Nafud. If the flight arrives from the east, you will have an excellent view of the Hajar Mountains. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be quite strong on this side, making it hotter and potentially harder to photograph through the window.
