Qasr Al Watan
The majestic Presidential Palace with its white domes is often visible shortly after takeoff.
Mangrove National Park
Dense green mangrove forests that create a striking contrast against the urban desert landscape.
Saudi Eastern Coast
The dramatic meeting point of the Persian Gulf and the sandy plains of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.
Al Khobar Skyline
The modern architectural developments and coastal parks of Al Khobar as you approach Dammam.
Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) for the best views of the UAE capital's architecture immediately after takeoff. For the most scenic experience, choose a flight during the 'Golden Hour' (late afternoon) when the sun illuminates the Abu Dhabi glass towers and reflects beautifully off the Gulf. Avoid seats directly over the wing to maintain an unobstructed view of the coastline.

The right side (Seat F or K) is perfect for spotting Yas Island's entertainment hubs.
