The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic UAE skylines, including Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the artificial islands of the Persian Gulf, and the spectacular fjords of the Musandam Peninsula.

Dubai Skyline
Clear views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense cluster of skyscrapers along Sheikh Zayed Road as the plane transits the UAE coast.
Palm Jumeirah & The World
Aerial perspective of the famous man-made islands and the luxury developments sprawling into the Persian Gulf.
Musandam Fjords
The 'Norway of Arabia' where the mountains meet the sea in dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden turquoise bays.
Strait of Hormuz
Look north to spot the narrow chokepoint of global shipping, often dotted with massive oil tankers.
Gulf of Oman Coastline
The final descent offers views of the rugged, rocky coastline leading into the capital city of Muscat.
For morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing perfect lighting for photography of the UAE coast. Try to sit well ahead or behind the wing to capture the full scale of the Musandam fjords during the transition from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman.

Doha Skyline
Shortly after take-off from Bahrain, view the impressive West Bay skyline and The Pearl-Qatar across the water.
The Empty Quarter Edge
The vast, rolling orange dunes of the Rub' al Khali desert visible in the distance toward the southern horizon.
Jebel Akhdar Range
The massive 'Green Mountain' range of Oman, showing deep canyons and jagged peaks during the descent.
Abu Dhabi Industry
Views of the massive oil and gas infrastructure and the expanding industrial zones of the UAE capital.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Desert. As you approach Muscat, this side provides a better view of the inland Hajar Mountains and the contrast between the arid peaks and the urban sprawl of the Omani capital.
