Which side of the plane to sit from Bateen Airport (Abu Dhabi) to Fujairah International Airport (Fujeirah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the dramatic transition from the vast orange sand dunes of the Al Khatim desert to the rugged, dark peaks of the Hajar Mountains during the short trans-peninsular hop.

Al Khatim Desert
Expansive vistas of rolling orange and red sand dunes stretching toward the Empty Quarter.
Jebel Hafeet
The isolated limestone mountain near Al Ain may be visible as a prominent landmark to the South.
Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, close-up views of the rugged peaks and deep wadi canyons as the plane crosses the mountain spine.
Port of Fujairah
A view of one of the world's largest bunkering hubs with numerous tankers anchored in the Gulf of Oman.
Fujairah Fort
Historical architecture nestled against the mountain backdrop visible during the final descent into FJR.
The right side is the 'geological' side. For the most dramatic views of the Hajar Mountains' texture, choose a morning flight when the low sun angle creates deep shadows in the valleys. Watch for the specific line where the desert sands stop and the mountain rock begins—a striking geographic boundary.

Yas Island
Clear aerial view of the iconic red Ferrari World roof and the Yas Marina Circuit shortly after departure.
Saadiyat Island
The turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Abu Dhabi's premier cultural district.
Dubai Skyline
On exceptionally clear days, the distant silhouette of the Burj Khalifa is visible to the North-East.
Persian Gulf Coastline
Observation of the intricate mangroves and natural islands lining the Abu Dhabi coast.
Northern Hajar Range
The northern reaches of the mountain range appearing as a jagged grey wall in the distance.
Sit on the left for the best views of Abu Dhabi's urban landmarks and coastal developments. This side is preferred for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare, offering better lighting for photos of the Persian Gulf islands and the distant northern Emirates.
