Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the rugged Hajar Mountains upon entering the Arabian Peninsula and provides the most dramatic perspective of the Jeddah coastline and the Red Sea during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Western Ghats

Shortly after takeoff, catch glimpses of the misty green peaks that define the interior of the Indian peninsula.

⛰️

Hajar Mountains

Dramatic views of the jagged, dark peaks of Northern Oman as the flight makes landfall in the Arabian Peninsula.

Empty Quarter North

Vast expanses of longitudinal dunes and salt flats characterizing the northern sections of the Saudi desert.

Jeddah Waterfront

A prime view of the Red Sea coast, including the Jeddah Corniche and the urban expansion of the city during descent.

🌊

Red Sea Coast

The turquoise waters of the Red Sea contrast sharply against the desert landscape just before touchdown.

The right side is highly recommended for daytime flights to see the Hajar Mountains clearly. During the final approach into Jeddah, this side often provides the best view of the city's iconic landmarks and the coast.
