Dubai Skyline
A distant but impressive view of the Burj Khalifa and the towering skyscrapers of Dubai Marina.
Persian Gulf Platforms
Spot numerous offshore oil and gas rigs and platforms illuminated in the middle of the sea.
The Pearl-Qatar
The most stunning view on the route; a massive, intricately designed artificial island shaped like an oyster.
West Bay Skyline
Doha's futuristic skyline featuring the Burj Doha and Tornado Tower as you circle for landing.
Lusail Stadium
The iconic golden stadium that hosted the FIFA World Cup final, located just north of Doha.

Depending on the flight path, you may see this large nature reserve island off the Abu Dhabi coast.
Qatari Desert
Aerial views of the distinct golden-red dunes in southern Qatar as the plane prepares for landing.
Umm Sa'id Industrial City
Qatar's major industrial hub and port visible on the southern approach to Doha.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the Persian Gulf. This side is ideal for travelers interested in the industrial and coastal geography of the UAE and southern Qatar.
