Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the vast Persian Gulf, offshore energy infrastructure, and a more dramatic approach into Kuwait City, including the iconic Kuwait Towers and the coastline.
Persian Gulf Vistas
Vast stretches of shallow, crystal-clear turquoise waters and coral reefs unique to this region.
Offshore Platforms
Look for the iconic oil and gas rigs and occasionally visible gas flares dotting the maritime landscape.
Failaka Island
A historic island near the entrance of Kuwait Bay, home to archaeological sites and modern ruins.
Kuwait City Coast
As you descend, enjoy a panoramic view of the Kuwait Towers and the dense urban landscape of the capital.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the Arabian sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the best aerial views of Kuwait City and the Liberation Tower.
West Bay Skyline
A stunning perspective of Doha's high-rise district immediately after departing Hamad International.
The Pearl-Qatar
View the intricate man-made islands and luxury marinas that define Doha's northern coast.
Al-Hasa Coastline
The stark contrast where the golden sands of the Saudi Arabian desert meet the turquoise waters of the Gulf.
Jubail Industrial City
One of the world's largest industrial hubs with sprawling petrochemical complexes visible along the coast.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping below the desert horizon. For the best view of Doha's architecture, look out immediately within the first 5 minutes of takeoff.
