AUH → BEG
Which side of the plane to sit from Abu Dhabi International Airport (Abu Dhabi) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a superior perspective of the Zagros Mountains in the distance, the stunning deep blue of Lake Van in Turkey, and the winding Danube River upon approach to Belgrade.
Zagros Range
Excellent views of the massive, often snow-capped Zagros mountains across the Iranian border.
Lake Van
The largest lake in Turkey, easily identifiable by its brilliant blue color and volcanic backdrop.
Black Sea Glimpses
Depending on the specific airway, the southern shores of the Black Sea may be visible near the Turkish-Bulgarian border.
The Danube River
One of Europe's longest rivers, serving as a primary landmark as you navigate toward the Serbian capital.
Belgrade Confluence
The striking meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers during the final approach into Nikola Tesla Airport.
Persian Gulf Infrastructure
High-altitude views of massive oil platforms and busy shipping lanes in the Gulf.
Morning flights are best for the Right Side to avoid glare while viewing the Turkish highlands. This side is also preferred for the approach into BEG, as it frequently offers views of the city center and the Fortress of Kalemegdan.
Abu Dhabi Skyline
Aerial views of the Yas Island developments and the city's coastal skyscrapers shortly after takeoff.
The Gulf Coast
The intricate coastline of the UAE and the shallow, turquoise waters of the southern Persian Gulf.
Mesopotamian Plains
The historic flatlands of Iraq where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers once birthed civilization.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys in Southern Turkey as you head toward Europe.
Balkan Forests
Lush green landscapes and mountainous terrain throughout Bulgaria and Southern Serbia.
Choose this side if your flight departs in the late afternoon to witness a sunset over the Mediterranean horizon. During takeoff from AUH, keep an eye out for the red roof of Ferrari World.
