King Fahd Causeway
The 25km series of bridges and causeways connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain is a major landmark visible shortly after takeoff.
Bahrain Skyline
Clear views of the Manama skyline, the Bahrain Financial Harbour, and the sprawling northern coastline of the archipelago.
Azure Gulf Waters
Beautiful turquoise shallow waters and coral reefs visible between the Saudi and Qatari coasts.
The Pearl-Qatar
The iconic man-made island development shaped like a pearl necklace is usually visible during the descent into DOH.
West Bay Skyline
As the plane turns for its final approach, you get a full view of Doha's futuristic skyscrapers and the Corniche.
Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) to see the most landmarks. On this short north-to-south flight, the left side avoids the harshest midday sun glare. For evening flights, the illuminated Bahrain Causeway and Manama city lights are spectacular sights to behold about 10-15 minutes into the flight.

The vast, undulating sand patterns of the Eastern Province and the stark beauty of the Arabian desert.

Salwa Border Crossing
The geographic bottleneck where the Qatari peninsula connects to the Saudi mainland near the town of Salwa.
Al Janoub Stadium
