Mount Lebanon
Dramatic views of the high peaks and steep limestone valleys immediately following departure from Beirut.
Bekaa Valley
The fertile agricultural heartland of Lebanon visible between the two main mountain ranges.
Syrian Steppe
The vast transition from the Mediterranean landscape to the arid, golden desert terrain of the northern Arabian Peninsula.
Kuwait City Skyline
The dense cluster of modern skyscrapers, including the Al Hamra Tower, during the final approach.
Kuwait Bay
A striking view of the blue Persian Gulf waters meeting the pale desert sands of the peninsula.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side offers the best angle for the city's architecture as the plane typically banks toward the airport from the north or west. Ensure you are not seated directly over the wing for unobstructed views of the Bekaa Valley.
