Hawizeh Marshes
Expansive views of the transnational wetlands and marshes that form a lush contrast with the surrounding desert.
Shatt al-Arab
The historic confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers marking the border between Iraq and Iran.
Bubiyan Island
Kuwait's largest island, featuring intricate tidal channels and a vast, untouched desert landscape.
Kuwait City Skyline
A panoramic view of the iconic Kuwait Towers and modern skyscrapers during the final descent into the airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the eastern sun. Watch for the stark transition from the green marshes to the sandy white expanse of Bubiyan Island. On clear days, the Basra urban area in Iraq is often visible in the distance to the northwest.
