Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?

The left side provides a front-row seat to Doha's architectural marvels immediately after takeoff and a superior view of the historic coastlines and islands as you cross into Bahraini territory.

West Bay Skyline
Unobstructed views of the iconic Doha skyscrapers and the Corniche shortly after departing Hamad International.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate man-made island series and marinas are clearly visible from low altitude on departure.
Lusail Stadium
The massive golden stadium that hosted the World Cup final stands out in the desert landscape of Lusail City.
Hawar Islands
A group of pristine islands belonging to Bahrain, visible just before the final descent.
Bahrain Bay
As you approach Manama, the distinctive United Tower and Four Seasons building appear on the horizon.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic urban views. For night flights, this side offers the sparkling lights of Doha's West Bay. Because the flight is extremely short (often under 25 minutes of air time), do not wait for the seatbelt sign to turn off to look out—the best landmarks appear within the first 5 minutes.

Persian Gulf
Stunning shades of turquoise and deep blue water stretching toward the horizon.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Spot the industrial platforms and support vessels that power the region's energy sector.
Amwaj Islands
A beautiful view of Bahrain's man-made floating city on the final approach into BAH airport.
Arad Fort
The 15th-century fort is often visible right next to the airport runway during the final seconds of flight.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a more tranquil view of the sea and is particularly good for spotting the complex man-made island structures like Amwaj near the Muharraq coastline just before landing.
