Abu Dhabi Skyline
Aerial views of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the city's modern architecture immediately after takeoff.
An Nafud Desert
Vast stretches of striking red sand dunes across the northern Arabian Peninsula.
Wadi Rum
The dramatic sandstone mountains and prehistoric desert landscapes of southern Jordan.
The Dead Sea
The brilliant turquoise waters and white salt-crusted shores of the lowest point on Earth during the descent.
Jerusalem
On clear days during the final approach, the distant sprawl of the Holy City is often visible across the border.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. The highlight is the 15-minute window before landing at AMM, where the descent path usually runs parallel to the Jordan Rift Valley. Look for the stark contrast between the desert and the deep blue of the Dead Sea.

Al-Jouf Region
The industrial and agricultural hubs of northern Saudi Arabia, featuring circular irrigation patterns.
East Amman
