Al-Hasa Oasis
View the world's largest self-contained oasis near Al Hofuf, appearing as a massive emerald patch against the desert sand.
Rub' al Khali Dunes
Cross the edge of the Empty Quarter, witnessing the legendary linear sand dunes and vast salt flats of the Arabian interior.
Wadi Hadramawt Canyons
As the flight enters Yemeni airspace, look for the deep, dramatic limestone canyons and dry riverbeds of the eastern highlands.
Mount Sabir
The towering 3,000-meter peak dominates the landscape as you approach Taiz, often shrouded in light clouds.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red sands of the Rub' al Khali without glare. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Al-Hasa Oasis. During the final descent, the left side provides a closer look at the historic architecture of Taiz clinging to the mountain slopes.

Riyadh Outskirts
Depending on the specific airway, you may catch a distant glimpse of the Riyadh skyline and its iconic towers to the west.
Harrat Al-Buqum
Observe the dark, volcanic fields and ancient basalt flows that punctuate the central Arabian landscape.
Asir Mountain Range
Distant views of the high peaks of the Sarawat mountains that run parallel to the Red Sea coast.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the stark contrast between the yellow desert sands and the black volcanic rock fields in central Saudi Arabia. During the approach to Taiz, you may see the Tihama coastal plain stretching toward the Red Sea in the far distance if visibility is high.
