Riyadh Urban Sprawl
A clear view of the capital city's architectural landmarks including the Kingdom Centre and Burj Rafal.
Tuwaiq Escarpment
The 'Edge of the World' limestone cliffs that drop dramatically into the plains below.
Al Baha Terraces
Incredible ancient stone agricultural terraces carved into the steep mountainsides.
Dammam Coastline
Aerial perspective of the Arabian Gulf and the artificial islands of the Eastern Province during takeoff.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights. Watch for the dramatic Tuwaiq cliffs roughly 40-50 minutes after takeoff. As the plane descends into Al Baha, look for the 'Marble Village' of Dhee Ayn tucked between the mountain ridges.

Ad-Dahna Desert
Vast stretches of high-contrast orange sand dunes connecting the northern and southern deserts.
Al Kharj Greenery
Unique circular irrigation patterns and agricultural projects visible in the desert landscape.
Southern Sarawat Range
Distant views of the rugged high-altitude peaks as the plane turns toward Al Baha.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. Look closely for the transition from flat desert to the foothills of the Asir region. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through the desert haze.
