Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Persian Gulf coastline, massive industrial ports, and the iconic Kuwait City skyline during the final approach.
Ras Tanura & Jubail
Bird's-eye view of the world's largest industrial cities and massive oil refinery complexes along the coast.
Persian Gulf Coastline
Stunning turquoise waters and shallow reefs as the flight path hugs the eastern shoreline of the Arabian Peninsula.
Kuwait City Skyline
Panoramic views of the Kuwait Towers, Al Hamra Tower, and the modern waterfront as the plane banks toward the airport.
Shuaiba Port
A clear view of the bustling maritime activity and massive tankers docked at Kuwait's primary industrial port.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent, this side provides the most dramatic views of the Kuwait City urban landscape and the coastline.
Eastern Province Desert
Vast stretches of the Ad-Dahna desert with intricate wind-swept dune patterns visible shortly after takeoff.
Wafra Agricultural Area
Unique circular irrigation patterns and green patches contrasted against the harsh desert near the Saudi-Kuwaiti border.
Burgan Oil Field
Views of one of the world's largest sandstone oil fields, featuring numerous rigs and occasional gas flares.
Sit on the left if flying at night to see the bright orange glow of oil field flares. During the day, keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of desert farms near the border.
