Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic red sand dunes of the Ad-Dahna desert and the mountainous terrain of northern Saudi Arabia before descending into the Jordanian highlands.
Search flights from DMM to AMM
Dammam Coastal View
Immediately after takeoff, catch the urban sprawl and the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf.
Al-Ahsa Oasis
Look south to spot the world's largest palm oasis, a lush green contrast against the desert sand.
Ad-Dahna Dunes
High-contrast red sand dunes forming a narrow 'river' of sand between central and eastern Saudi Arabia.
Shammar Mountains
The granite peaks of Aja and Salma near Hail offer a rugged silhouette against the horizon.
Jordanian Canyons
As the flight enters Jordan, the terrain shifts to dramatic limestone and sandstone valleys.
For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you (to the north) for better lighting on the southern desert features. Watch for the dramatic color shift from white to red sands mid-flight. During the winter months, the Shammar mountains may occasionally show light snow or frost in the early morning.

King Fahd International
The massive scale of the world's largest airport by land area is best appreciated from above during the initial climb.
Al-Jouf Green Circles
Perfectly circular agricultural fields create a striking geometric pattern in the northern desert landscape.
Northern Infrastructure
Views of the cross-country pipelines and modern desert highways connecting the northern border regions.
Azraq Wetlands
A rare water source and historic wetland area visible as you cross into the Jordanian panhandle.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the unique circular irrigation systems in the Al-Jouf region, which look like green polka dots on the desert floor. In late spring, the desert here can briefly turn green after seasonal rains.
