Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps, the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic coast, and a prime view of the Doha skyline during the final approach sequence into Hamad International.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe often emerges as a dominant feature on the southern horizon.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

A beautiful stretch of the Croatian coastline and the scattered islands of the Adriatic Sea.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

The rugged, sun-drenched peaks of southern Turkey that mark the transition into the Middle East.

🏜️

Mesopotamian Rivers

Aerial views of the winding Euphrates and Tigris rivers as they flow through the historic Fertile Crescent.

🏙️

Doha West Bay

An incredible panorama of the futuristic skyscrapers and the Corniche as the plane turns for landing.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Arabian desert. This side is also strategically better for seeing the sprawling Lusail development and the iconic West Bay skyline during typical landing patterns from the north.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Central Alps

Spectacular views of the Swiss and Austrian Alpine peaks shortly after leaving French airspace.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

Glimpses of the northern Turkish coastline and the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea.

⛰️

Zagros Mountains

Dramatic, folded rock formations and rugged ridges across the border regions of Iraq and Iran.

🐚

The Pearl-Qatar

A bird's-eye view of the iconic man-made island and its circular yacht basins during descent.

On daytime flights, the left side provides excellent diffused light for photographing the Alps without heavy glare. During the final approach, look out for the distinct geometric patterns of the Pearl-Qatar and the Katara Towers.
