Makran Coastline
Stunning, moon-like geological formations and rugged cliffs along the coast of Balochistan.
Musandam Peninsula
The dramatic 'Norway of Arabia' with its sharp mountain peaks and deep fjords near the Strait of Hormuz.
Downtown Dubai
Breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense cluster of skyscrapers along Sheikh Zayed Road.
The World Islands
The unique archipelago of man-made islands designed to look like a map of the globe from above.
Bluewaters Island
Spot the Ain Dubai, the world's tallest observation wheel, as the plane makes its final turn.
This is the 'scenic side' for the approach into DXB. Most flight paths arrive from the northeast, placing the Dubai skyline and man-made islands directly out of the right windows. For the best views of the Makran coast, a morning flight provides the best side-lighting on the cliffs.

Thar Desert Dunes
Aerial views of the vast golden sands and rolling dunes of the Great Indian Desert in Rajasthan.
Gulf of Oman
A transition from the deep blues of the Arabian Sea to the turquoise waters near the Gulf coast.
Jebel Ali Port
View the massive scale of the world's largest man-made harbor and the industrial heart of Dubai.
Palm Jebel Ali
The second, larger palm-shaped island currently under development south of the main city.
On daytime flights, the sun is positioned to the south, which can cause significant glare on this side. Use a polarizing filter for photography. This side is better for spotting the vast desert expanses of Rajasthan and the heavy shipping traffic in the Gulf of Oman.
