Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?

The Alps
Depending on the specific flight corridor, distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps.
Mesopotamian Rivers
Aerial views of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers snaking through the desert landscapes of Iraq.
Kuwait City
The dense urban sprawl and distinct skyscrapers of Kuwait City are frequently visible along the coast.
The Pearl-Qatar
An incredible view of the man-made island 'The Pearl' and the West Bay skyline just before touchdown at DOH.
The right side is highly recommended for sunset views on afternoon departures. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Doha Corniche and West Bay skyline during the landing pattern, which typically approaches from the north.

German Lowlands
Green agricultural patchworks and dense forests of Central Germany shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Anatolian Plateau
The rugged, high-altitude terrain of Eastern Turkey featuring dramatic ridges and seasonal snow.
Persian Gulf Coastline
The striking contrast between the turquoise waters of the Gulf and the pale sands of the Arabian Peninsula.
Lusail Iconic Stadium
The massive golden bowl of the World Cup final stadium is often visible on the left during the northern approach.
Sit on the left for softer morning light if taking an overnight flight arriving at dawn. It is also the best side for spotting the expanding urban developments of Lusail and the northern Qatari coastline during the descent.
