Dammam Waterfront
Immediate views of the Corniche and the sprawling urban sprawl of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.
King Fahd Causeway
The massive bridge system connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain is often visible shortly after takeoff.
Manama Skyline
Distant views of the Bahraini capital and the island nation's unique archipelagos.
Arabian Gulf Shallows
Vibrant turquoise waters and offshore oil platforms dotting the shallow maritime shelf.
Palm Jebel Ali
During the descent into DWC, the massive palm-shaped island is clearly visible near the coastline.
Sit on the left for the best coastal contrast. During evening flights, the sunset reflects beautifully off the Gulf waters. Look for the distinct blue-green water patches which indicate coral reefs or shallow sandbars near the Qatari and Emirati coasts.

Inland Desert Formations
Typical wind-swept desert patterns and occasional oasis settlements in the UAE hinterland.
