Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior departure experience with immediate views of the dramatic Mount Lebanon range and later provides a vast, colorful panorama of the Arabian Peninsula's unique desert formations.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Mount Lebanon

Dramatic views of the rugged mountain peaks, often snow-capped in winter, immediately following the turn after takeoff.

🏜️

An Nafud Desert

Spectacular views of rolling red sand dunes and ancient geological formations as the flight crosses Saudi Arabia.

🛢️

Oil Field Infrastructure

Witness the immense scale of the Ghawar and Eastern Province oil fields, characterized by vast industrial networks and gas flares.

🌊

Khor Al Adaid

The unique 'Inland Sea' where the desert dunes meet the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf near the Qatari border.

🐪

Inland Qatar

A view of the desert landscape of southern Qatar, featuring remote camel farms and isolated desert outposts.

The right side is unbeatable for the departure from Beirut; the transition from the Mediterranean to the mountains is breathtaking. On morning flights, keep your window shade partially lowered to mitigate the desert sun. Watch for the 'Inland Sea' about 20 minutes before landing, as it is one of the region's most unique natural wonders.

🏙️

Beirut Coastline

Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline, including Jounieh Bay and the northern suburbs of Beirut shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Northern Saudi Plains

An expansive view of the arid northern plains where the landscape transitions into the Arabian interior.

🏗️

Kuwait and Gulf Coast

Distant views of the northern Persian Gulf coast and the industrial infrastructure of the Kuwaiti and Saudi borders.

🏝️

The Pearl-Qatar

As the plane descends into Doha, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the luxurious man-made islands and yacht marinas.

🏢

Doha West Bay

An iconic view of Doha's futuristic skyline and skyscrapers during the final approach into Hamad International.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the glittering lights of Doha's skyline during the descent. This side avoids direct sun glare for most of the southeasterly journey, making it better for photography. Look for the distinctive circular pattern of The Pearl-Qatar just before landing.
