Wadi Bisha Palm Groves
Lush green streaks of date palms contrasting sharply against the arid valley floor immediately after takeoff.
Uruq Subay' Dunes
Vast stretches of reddish-orange sand dunes that form intricate patterns across the landscape of the Najd region.
Tuwaiq Escarpment
The spectacular 'Edge of the World' limestone cliffs that rise sharply from the desert floor, running north-south.
Historic Diriyah
On the final approach to Riyadh, look for the UNESCO World Heritage site and the birthplace of the Saudi state.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red sands and the sharp relief of the Tuwaiq cliffs. The descent usually begins as you pass the escarpment, providing a perfect low-altitude view of the dramatic drop-offs.

Riyadh Skyline
A panoramic view of the growing southern and central urban sprawl of the capital city, including distant towers.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' glow over the Najd Plateau. Watch for the circular crop patterns near Al-Kharj as you approach the capital. If the wind is from the north, you might see the Al Faisaliyah and Kingdom Centre towers during the final bank.
