Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

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.
