DWC → BEY
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the Dubai skyline upon departure, the dramatic red dunes of the An Nafud desert, and the spectacular descent over the Mount Lebanon range into the Beirut basin.
Dubai Skyline
Distal views of the Burj Khalifa and the high-rises of Dubai Marina shortly after takeoff from DWC.
Jebel Ali Port
One of the largest man-made harbors in the world, visible as the plane climbs over the UAE coast.
An Nafud Desert
Expansive views of the northern Saudi Arabian desert with its characteristic reddish sand dunes.
Mount Lebanon Range
The rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys that define the Lebanese landscape during the descent.
Beirut City Panorama
A sweeping view of the Mediterranean 'Paris of the Middle East' as the aircraft aligns for the runway.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views during the final 20 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Lebanese mountains and the Beirut coastline with a warm glow.
Expo City Dubai
A clear view of the Al Wasl Dome and the unique architectural layout of the former Expo 2020 site.
The Dead Sea
The shimmering, hypersaline waters of the lowest point on Earth, nestled between Jordan and Israel/Palestine.
Jordan Valley
The lush green rift valley that provides a stark contrast to the surrounding arid desert terrain.
Southern Lebanese Coast
Views of the ancient coastal cities like Sidon and Tyre as the plane approaches from the south.
The right side is excellent for spotting the Dead Sea about 40 minutes before landing. Ensure your window is clean to capture the turquoise hues of the Mediterranean as the plane makes its final turn over the water.
