BAH → BEY
Which side of the plane to sit from Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain) to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic shift from the Arabian desert to the lush Mediterranean landscapes, featuring the Dead Sea and the towering Mount Hermon during the approach.
An Nafud Desert
Vast stretches of reddish sand dunes in northern Saudi Arabia stretching toward the horizon.
Amman Cityscape
The distinctive white limestone architecture of Jordan's capital spread across its seven hills.
The Dead Sea
A stunning view of the world's lowest point, known for its deep turquoise waters and salt-crusted shores.
Mount Hermon
The highest point in the Anti-Lebanon range, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Lebanese Coastline
The final descent offers views of the Mediterranean surf meeting the rugged cliffs of the Levant.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Dead Sea and Jordan's desert landscapes. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos. Look out for the snow-capped peak of Mount Hermon as you enter Lebanese airspace; it is the most prominent landmark before landing.
Kuwait City
A clear view of the Kuwait Towers and the modern skyline along the edge of the Persian Gulf.
Mesopotamian Plains
The historic fertile plains between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Southern Iraq.
Damascus Outskirts
Glimpses of one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities as the flight path skirts the Syrian border.
Anti-Lebanon Mountains
Rugged, arid mountain ranges that define the natural border between Syria and Lebanon.
Bahrain Bay
Immediate views of Bahrain's man-made islands and financial harbor shortly after takeoff.
The right side is ideal for catching the urban sprawl of Kuwait City shortly after takeoff from Bahrain. During afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, which is better for avoiding window glare. Keep your eyes peeled for the intricate river patterns of the Mesopotamian region as you fly over Iraq.
