Manama Skyline
Aerial view of the modern towers of Bahrain's capital and the reclamation projects like Reef Island.
King Fahd Causeway
The 25km series of bridges and causeways connecting Bahrain to the Saudi Arabian mainland.
Ad-Dahna Desert
The 'River of Sand' with its distinct reddish tint, stretching across central Saudi Arabia.
Wadi Rum
Dramatic red sandstone mountains and desert valleys visible as you cross the Jordanian border.
Dead Sea Horizon
On clear days during the descent, the deep blue of the Dead Sea and the rift valley appear on the western horizon.
Book a window seat on the left for the best view of the Causeway immediately after departure. During the final 45 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the geological shift from flat sand to the jagged terrain of southern Jordan. Sunset flights are especially scenic as the light hits the red desert dunes.

Al-Ahsa Oasis
One of the largest oases in the world, appearing as a massive green patch amidst the desert.

Harrat al-Shamah
Unique black basalt volcanic fields that create a stark, dark contrast to the surrounding sand in eastern Jordan.
Mount Nebo Area

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare.

Look for the 'Desert Kites' (ancient stone structures) often visible in the basalt fields from high altitudes.
