CCJ → DMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Calicut International Airport (Calicut) to King Fahd International Airport (Dammam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Omani coastline, the modern urban sprawl of the UAE, and the intricate island formations of the Persian Gulf before landing in Dammam.
Muscat Shoreline
Look out for the white buildings of the Omani capital nestled between the mountains and the sea.
UAE Urban Corridor
Depending on the flight path, catch distant glimpses of the tall skylines of Sharjah and Dubai.
Persian Gulf Islets
View the unique turquoise waters and small coral islands as the flight tracks north of the UAE.
King Fahd Causeway
The massive bridge connecting Saudi Arabia to Bahrain is often visible during the descent into DMM.
Emerald Coastal Waters
The transition from the deep blue sea to the shallow, emerald green waters of the Gulf is striking.
The right side is the prime spot for seeing land-based landmarks. Request a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly scenic during daytime flights when the contrast between the Persian Gulf's turquoise water and the desert sand is most vibrant.
Arabian Sea Crossing
The initial segment of the flight provides vast, tranquil views of the Arabian Sea after departing the Malabar Coast.
Al Hajar Mountains
Rugged, dark mountain ridges of Oman become visible as you enter the Arabian Peninsula.
Rub' al Khali Edge
Witness the orange-hued sand dunes of the Empty Quarter extending toward the horizon.
Dhahran & Al Khobar
On the final approach, the sprawling residential and industrial landscape of the Eastern Province is clearly visible.
Choose the left side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon, as the sun will be positioned to the southwest. This side is also excellent for observing the deep desert textures of the Arabian Peninsula as you cross from the sea to the interior.
