Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?

Palm Jebel Ali
A spectacular aerial view of the second palm-shaped island located right next to the airport.
Persian Gulf Waters
Vibrant turquoise and azure hues of the shallow coastal waters and shifting sandbanks.
Offshore Rigs
Spot various oil and gas platforms that dot the horizon throughout the flight across the Gulf.
Manama Skyline
Excellent views of the Bahrain World Trade Center and Financial Harbour during the descent.
Muharraq Island
A close-up look at the historic areas and traditional architecture surrounding the Bahrain airport.
The right side is highly recommended for the initial climb out of Al Maktoum (DWC) to see the Palm Jebel Ali. For the best experience, book an evening flight to watch the lights of the Manama skyline flicker across the water. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff and again about 15 minutes before landing for the best photo opportunities.

Jebel Ali Port
View the world's largest man-made harbor and its massive container terminals shortly after takeoff.
Arabian Desert
Sweeping views of the golden dunes stretching toward the Empty Quarter in the south.
Qatar Coastline
Distant views of the northern tip of the Qatar peninsula during the mid-flight cruise.
Durrat Al Bahrain
The distinctively shaped artificial 'petal' islands at the southern tip of the Bahraini archipelago.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the vast desert landscape of the UAE and the southern developments of Bahrain. However, in the late afternoon, the sun will be directly in your window, making it very hot and difficult for photography.
