Sealine & Inland Sea
View the unique geographic point where the desert dunes of Qatar roll directly into the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf.
Sarawat Mountains
The jagged, dark peaks of the Yemeni highlands provide a dramatic backdrop as the plane traverses the southern Arabian Peninsula.
Aden Crater City
A spectacular view of the ancient volcanic caldera where the historical heart of Aden is built during the final landing phase.
Aden Harbor
Watch the busy shipping lanes and the strategic port of Aden surrounded by stark, rocky promontories.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to capture the golden hour light hitting the mountain peaks. Ensure your window is clear for the final 10 minutes of the flight, as the approach over the volcanic cliffs and the gulf is world-class.

Doha Skyline
A stunning view of the West Bay skyscrapers and the Pearl-Qatar development immediately after takeoff from Hamad International.
Rub' al Khali
Cross the vast 'Empty Quarter' with its iconic endless patterns of towering orange longitudinal sand dunes.
Wadi Hadramaut
Look down upon the world-famous deep canyons and ancient mud-brick settlements that line this historic valley region.
Gulf of Aden Coast
The transition from the high desert plateaus to the deep blue waters of the Gulf as the aircraft begins its approach.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better visibility of the desert textures. Look for the ancient 'Manhattan of the Desert,' Shibam, in the Hadramaut region if the flight path is inland.
