Persian Gulf Coast

Sit on the left for the best views of Beirut's Corniche during takeoff. On day flights, the sun is typically to the south, making the left side better for photography without glare. Ensure a seat forward of the wing to maintain a clear view of the changing topography from mountains to desert.
