Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Prince Abdulmohsin Bin Abdulaziz Airport (Yenbo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the varying desert textures, the rugged Hejaz mountain ranges, and the stunning turquoise coastal lagoons when approaching Yanbu.
Persian Gulf
A final look at the shallow, turquoise waters of the Gulf as the plane turns westward.
Al-Qassim Oases
View of the green agricultural circles and palm groves near the central cities of Buraidah and Unaizah.
Hejaz Mountains
The dramatic transition from the central plateau to the rugged, dark peaks that parallel the Red Sea.
Yanbu Lagoons
Spectacular views of the coral reefs and clear coastal lagoons north of the city during the final approach.
Old Yanbu Port
The historical heart of Yanbu Al-Bahr and the traditional fishing harbors along the coastline.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the desert colors perfectly. Look out for the sharp contrast between the dark volcanic rocks and the light desert sands as you cross the Hijaz range. During landing, this side provides the best view of the Red Sea's coral formations.
Dammam Skyline
Aerial views of the massive urban expansion of Dammam and Dhahran immediately after takeoff.
Ad-Dahna Desert
Crossing the narrow strip of high-dune red sand that connects the two great deserts of Arabia.
Riyadh Outskirts
Depending on the specific airway, a distant view of the sprawling capital city and its iconic towers.
Harrat Rahat
One of Saudi Arabia's largest volcanic fields, featuring dark basaltic flows and cinder cones.
Yanbu Industrial City
A comprehensive view of the massive refineries and petrochemical complexes that define the southern part of the city.
Sit on the left for the best views of the industrial infrastructure during the descent. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare; try to choose a seat behind the wing to minimize heat shimmer.
