Doha West Bay Skyline
A stunning panoramic view of Qatar's futuristic skyscrapers and the crescent-shaped Corniche shortly after takeoff.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate layout of the luxury man-made island is clearly visible as the plane gains altitude over the coast.
Yas Island & Ferrari World
Look for the distinct bright red roof of the Ferrari World theme park and the Yas Marina Circuit near Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi Skyline
A distant but impressive view of the Etihad Towers and the ADNOC headquarters as the flight tracks the UAE coast.
Rub' al Khali Edge
The dramatic transition where the golden desert sands meet the urban expansion of the southern Emirates.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the right. During late afternoon flights, the sun sets behind the aircraft or to the right, casting a golden glow over the Doha and Abu Dhabi skylines. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff from DOH, as the city views appear quickly. Since DWC is located south of Dubai city center, the right side provides the best perspective of the inland desert developments.

A small, teardrop-shaped island known for its salt mountains and conservation areas, visible mid-flight.
Palm Jebel Ali
The massive, frond-shaped artificial archipelago visible as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into DWC.
Jebel Ali Port
One of the world's largest man-made harbors, showcasing the massive scale of global maritime logistics.
Choose the left side if you prefer the calming aesthetics of open water and want a clear view of the Palm Jebel Ali during the northern approach pattern. This side typically experiences less direct sun glare during morning flights heading east.
