BEY → DXB
Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the Lebanese coastline during departure and an unparalleled perspective of the iconic Dubai skyline and coastal developments during the final approach into DXB.
Beirut Coastline
Beautiful views of the Mediterranean city and the Raouche Rocks upon takeoff.
Arabian Plateau
Intricate patterns in the sand and rocky outcrops of the central desert.
Burj Khalifa
Clear sight of the world's tallest building standing above the Dubai clouds.
Palm Jumeirah
The famous tree-shaped artificial island visible during the standard approach path.
Burj Al Arab
The sail-shaped luxury hotel gleaming on the Jumeirah beach coast.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into DXB. Most flight paths circle over the Gulf, giving passengers a front-row seat to the Palm Jumeirah and the downtown skyline. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography without sun glare.
Anti-Lebanon Range
Rugged mountains forming the border between Lebanon and Syria.
An Nafud Desert
Stunning expanse of reddish-gold dunes across northern Saudi Arabia.
Sharjah Skyline
Views of the cultural capital of the UAE just before touching down in Dubai.
Persian Gulf
The deep blue waters of the Gulf as the aircraft turns for its final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the desert, but be prepared for intense brightness. This side offers better views of the northern Emirates during the descent.
