Which side of the plane to sit from Ahwaz Airport (Ahwaz) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Persian Gulf's maritime activity and the iconic world-class architecture of Dubai during the final descent.
Kharg Island
Spot the massive oil terminals and tankers at Iran's primary export hub in the northern Persian Gulf.
Gulf Maritime Traffic
A vast view of the Persian Gulf dotted with offshore rigs, cargo ships, and deep turquoise water patterns.
The World Islands
The famous man-made archipelago shaped like a world map becomes visible as you approach the Dubai coastline.
Burj Khalifa & Downtown
The unmistakable silhouette of the world's tallest building and the dense skyscraper cluster of Sheikh Zayed Road.
Palm Jumeirah
Depending on the landing pattern, you can catch a glimpse of the iconic palm-shaped island stretching into the sea.
Choose the right side for the ultimate 'arrival in Dubai' experience. Late afternoon flights are ideal, as the sun illuminates the Dubai skyline perfectly. During the final 10 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the artificial islands and the Burj Khalifa.
Karun River View
Witness the winding path of Iran's most effluent river as it flows through the heart of Ahwaz immediately after takeoff.
Zagros Range Foothills
Stunning views of the arid, folded geological formations of the southern Zagros Mountains to the east.
Bandar-e Mahshahr
A clear aerial perspective of one of Iran's largest industrial and petrochemical port hubs along the coast.
Sharjah Urban Center
Dense clusters of residential towers and cultural landmarks in Sharjah as the aircraft aligns for DXB.
Sit here during morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides a better perspective of the Iranian coastline and the mountainous interior of the UAE's northern emirates during the approach.
