Kuwait City Skyline
Clear views of the Kuwait Towers and the curving bay shortly after departure from Doha.
Taurus Mountains
Spectacular snow-capped peaks and deep valleys as you fly across Southern Turkey.
Cyclades Islands
The iconic cluster of Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, visible as tiny white dots in the blue water.
Gulf of Corinth
The narrow blue strip of water separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece.
Lake Bracciano
A stunning volcanic lake that serves as a primary landmark during the final descent into FCO.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into Rome. Depending on the wind direction, landing usually involves a turn over the Tyrrhenian Sea or a pass near the city outskirts. On clear days, the Turkish mountain ranges are the highlight of the mid-flight. Ensure you have your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for Lake Bracciano.

An-Nafud Desert
Vast stretches of reddish sand dunes and desert landscapes in northern Saudi Arabia.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea stretching toward the North African coast.
Cyprus
Distant views of the island of Cyprus as the flight path crosses the Mediterranean towards Europe.
Southern Italian Coast
The first sightings of the Italian 'heel' (Puglia) and the rugged coastline of Calabria.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while heading west-northwest. It provides a more tranquil view of the open sea and is excellent for those who enjoy watching the sunset over the Mediterranean during evening arrivals.
