BDH → DXB
Which side of the plane to sit from Bandar Lengeh Airport (Bandar Lengeh) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an iconic aerial panorama of Dubai's world-famous architectural landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa and man-made islands, during the final approach into DXB.
The World Islands
The famous man-made archipelago shaped like a world map is often clearly visible from this side.
Downtown Dubai Skyline
A breathtaking view of the Burj Khalifa towering over the surrounding skyscrapers in the financial district.
Sir Abu Nu'ayr Island
A small, culturally significant salt-dome island located in the middle of the Persian Gulf.
Palm Jumeirah
The unmistakable palm-shaped island can frequently be seen depending on the specific approach pattern into DXB.
Request a window seat on the right for the best chance to see Dubai's landmarks. Flights are short, so have your camera ready within 15 minutes of takeoff. Opt for morning flights to avoid the thick afternoon haze and dust which can obscure the skyline views.
Persian Gulf Expanse
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and deep blue shipping lanes as you cross the gulf.
Sharjah Waterfront
A detailed look at the lagoons, corniche, and high-rise clusters of Sharjah during the descent.
Hormozgan Coastline
Views of the rugged Iranian coastline and the port areas of Bandar Lengeh immediately after departure.
The left side is preferable for early morning flights if you want to see the soft glow of the sunrise over the Gulf. It offers a clearer view of the northern emirates like Sharjah and Ajman as the plane aligns for its final landing path.
