BEY → DWC
Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Mediterranean coastline upon departure, the iconic Mount Hermon, and a direct view of the Palm Jebel Ali during the descent into Al Maktoum International.
Mediterranean Coast
A sweeping panorama of the Beirut shoreline and the turquoise waters of the Levant Basin immediately after takeoff.
Mount Hermon
The highest point of the Anti-Lebanon range, often capped with snow and visible as you head southeast.
Jordanian Badia
Intricate patterns of dry wadis and basalt fields creating a moon-like landscape over northern Jordan.
An Nafud Desert
The striking reddish dunes of northern Saudi Arabia, offering spectacular colors during the golden hour.
Palm Jebel Ali
A clear, bird's-eye view of the massive palm-shaped artificial island during the final approach into DWC.
The right side is the definitive choice for afternoon flights to witness a desert sunset. Keep your window shade open during the final 15 minutes of flight; the descent over the Jebel Ali coastline offers some of the best industrial and maritime photography opportunities in the region.
Mount Lebanon Range
Vibrant views of the snow-capped Lebanese mountains shortly after departure from Beirut.
Damascus Horizon
Distances views of the ancient Syrian capital nestled at the foot of the Qasioun Mountain.
Syrian Steppe
The vast, arid landscapes of the northern Arabian Peninsula stretching toward the Euphrates.
Dubai Logistics District
An aerial view of the massive infrastructure and shipping hubs surrounding the Al Maktoum airport area.
Gulf Night Lights
On evening flights, the shimmering lights of coastal Kuwait and Dammam are often visible in the distance.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly rewarding in winter when the Lebanese peaks are heavily covered in snow, providing a sharp contrast to the desert floor.
