Which side of the plane to sit from Bushehr Airport (Bushehr) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is the clear winner for this short hop across the Gulf, offering front-row seats to the architectural wonders of Dubai during the descent, including the Palm Jumeirah and the iconic Burj Khalifa.
The Persian Gulf
Deep turquoise waters and a high density of international shipping vessels and tankers.
Offshore Platforms
Active oil and gas rigs scattered throughout the Gulf, often visible by their gas flares at night.
The World Islands
The famous man-made archipelago shaped like a global map, best viewed during the final descent.
Palm Jumeirah
The world-renowned tree-shaped artificial island, usually clearly visible if the flight approaches from the west.
Downtown Dubai
Unrivaled views of the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, and the towering skyline along Sheikh Zayed Road.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Dubai view.' For the best experience, try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure your photos of the Palm Jumeirah and Burj Khalifa are unobstructed. If landing at night, this side provides a breathtaking view of the city's neon-lit grid and the dark expanse of the desert beyond.
Bushehr Peninsula
A great view of the historic port city and the unique hook-shaped peninsula as the flight departs Iranian airspace.
Zagros Mountains
Distant views of the rugged, folded mountain ranges of southern Iran visible across the coastline.
Kish and Qeshm Islands
Depending on the specific airway, you may spot these major Iranian islands known for their coral reefs and turquoise waters.
Sharjah Port
Aerial views of the massive container terminals and industrial activity near the UAE border.
Northern Emirates
The dense urban sprawl of Ajman and Sharjah blending seamlessly into the Dubai metropolitan area.
Choose the left side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun setting over the Gulf. This side offers better views of the Iranian coastline and the initial climb out of Bushehr. Keep an eye out for traditional dhows dotting the water near the coast.
