Search flights from BBO to SHJ
Somali Coastline
Aerial views of the white sandy beaches and rugged terrain around the Berbera region immediately after takeoff.
Yemeni Highlands
Spectacular views of the jagged mountains and ancient coastal towns of the Hadhramaut region in Yemen.
The Empty Quarter
Witness the mesmerizing, endless orange sand dunes of the Rub' al Khali, the largest contiguous sand desert in the world.
Al Hajar Mountains
The flight path typically crosses over these formidable limestone peaks that form the backbone of the UAE and Oman.
Al Ain Oasis
A striking patch of green visible amidst the desert landscape as you cross from Oman into the United Arab Emirates.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the red dunes of the Empty Quarter. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Al Hajar Mountains, as the terrain becomes extremely dramatic just minutes before landing.

Gulf of Aden
Expansive views of the deep azure waters and busy international shipping lanes connecting the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.
Sharjah & Dubai Skyline
On the final approach, enjoy a distant but spectacular view of the Burj Khalifa and the dense urban sprawl of the Emirates.
Al Khan Waterfront
Clear views of Sharjah's lagoons, beaches, and the distinctive architecture of the Blue Souq just before landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is best for observing the coastal urban development of the Northern Emirates during the descent into Sharjah.
