King Fahd Causeway
The iconic 25km bridge system connecting the two nations; look for the distinct border station on the central artificial island.
Al Khobar Skyline
The densely packed skyscrapers and the developed Corniche area of Saudi Arabia's vibrant coastal city.
Half Moon Bay
A glimpse of the crescent-shaped bay popular for recreation, visible just south of the main flight path.
Manama Financial District
The striking architectural landmarks of the Bahraini capital, including the dual towers of the World Trade Center.
Sakhir Landscape
In the distance to the south, the desert terrain where the Bahrain International Circuit is located.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this specific route. Request a window seat away from the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Causeway. Because the altitude remains relatively low (often under 10,000 feet), the ground detail is exceptional. This route is best flown at sunset when the Causeway lights begin to twinkle and the sky reflects on the gulf waters.

Arabian Gulf Shallows
Stunning patterns of turquoise and emerald water created by the shallow depths and sandbanks of the gulf.
Tarout Island
An ancient island near the Saudi coast featuring historical sites and palm groves visible during initial climb.
Amwaj Islands
Impressive man-made islands and luxury developments with intricate circular designs near the descent path.
Muharraq Waterfront
The coastal edges of Bahrain's historic island, showing a blend of traditional fishing boats and modern ports.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking out over the open sea and the northern residential developments of Bahrain. For the best photography, aim for a morning flight to avoid the afternoon sun glare reflecting off the water. Given the flight duration is often less than 20 minutes of air time, keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff.
