Red Sea Coastline

The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers the best perspective of the Red Sea's turquoise reefs during the approach into Jeddah. If the flight path comes from the north, you will also get a clear view of the new Jeddah Tower site and the central corniche.

King Fahd Causeway
The spectacular 25-kilometer bridge system connecting the island of Bahrain to mainland Saudi Arabia.
Ad-Dahna Desert
The distinctive reddish sand dunes of the central corridor between the eastern province and the Najd region.
Riyadh Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the Saudi capital can be seen rising from the desert floor.
Sarawat Mountains
The rugged, dark peaks of the Hijaz range that signal the final descent toward the coastal plain.
Choose the left side for morning departures to see the sun rising over the Arabian Gulf. This side is also best for viewing the massive infrastructure of the King Fahd Causeway immediately after takeoff, but be prepared for direct sun glare during the middle of the flight.
