Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Bisha Airport (Bisha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Dammam-Khobar metropolitan area during departure and a better perspective of the Riyadh skyline and its central landmarks while traversing the Najd plateau.
Persian Gulf Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and the interconnected cities of Dammam, Khobar, and Dhahran after takeoff.
Riyadh City Center
Prime views of the iconic Kingdom Centre and Al Faisaliyah Center skyscrapers protruding from the desert plateau.
King Khalid International
Often provides a direct overhead view of the massive three-runway layout of Riyadh's primary aviation hub.
Central Najd Plateau
Vast, sun-drenched landscapes featuring ancient dry riverbeds (wadis) that crisscross the central Arabian landscape.
Harrat Plateau
Ancient volcanic lava fields visible north of Bisha, characterized by dark basaltic rocks contrasting with the desert sand.
The right side is best for city enthusiasts; choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure the Riyadh skyline isn't blocked by engine glare. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography of the coastal sprawl and Riyadh's towers.
Ad-Dahna Desert Dunes
Dramatic red sand patterns forming a narrow bridge of dunes between the Great Nafud and the Rub' al Khali.
Southern Riyadh
Aerial view of the sprawling southern suburbs and the expansive industrial cities surrounding the capital.
Tuwaiq Escarpment
A 800km long natural limestone cliff that carves through the heart of the Najd region with spectacular drop-offs.
Asir Foothills
As the flight descends into Bisha, observe the rugged granite formations and volcanic fields of the lower Asir range.
Sit on the left for softer light during afternoon flights, which helps highlight the textures of the Tuwaiq cliffs. This side is ideal for spotting the deep shadows cast by the desert ridges during sunset departures from Dammam.
