Hajar Mountains
The rugged, jagged peaks of the northern Hajar range that stretch across the Oman-UAE border.
Rub' al Khali Fringe
The edge of the Empty Quarter where the landscape transforms into massive, rolling red sand dunes.
Al Ain Oasis
The dense green pockets of date palms that stand out sharply against the surrounding desert sand.
Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium
The iconic palm-trunk-inspired architecture of the local football stadium is visible during final approach.
The Right Side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun glare coming from the South. It offers a much clearer view of the mountainous terrain during the descent into Al Ain.

Malabar Coastline
The lush green shores of Kerala and the coconut groves fading away as you depart India.
Arabian Sea Expanse
A long stretch of deep blue water, often showing cargo ships on the busy international shipping lanes.
Jebel Hafeet
The towering limestone peak that marks the border with Oman, visible just south of Al Ain.
Choose this side during evening flights to witness the sun setting over the Arabian Sea. On the descent, look specifically for the winding road of Jebel Hafeet, which is beautifully lit at night.
