DWC โ OMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Omsk Central Airport (Omsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring distant views of the Dubai skyline upon departure, the snow-capped peaks of the Alborz mountain range in Iran, and the winding Irtysh River on the final approach into Omsk.
Dubai Skyline
Distant but iconic views of the Burj Khalifa and the downtown cluster shortly after takeoff from DWC.
Mount Damavand
The majestic, snow-covered cone of the highest peak in the Middle East, visible as you bypass Tehran.
Isfahan & Central Iran
Aerial views of historic Iranian urban centers nestled within the desert landscape.
Central Caspian Sea
Expansive views of the world's largest inland body of water, often appearing like an endless ocean.
Irtysh River Meanders
The beautiful, winding curves of the Irtysh River as it snakes through the Omsk region during descent.
The right side is ideal for capturing Mount Damavand, which is the highlight of the Iranian segment. On the approach to Omsk, this side typically offers a better view of the city center and the river. Be aware that early morning northbound flights will have significant glare on this side.
The Persian Gulf
Deep turquoise waters immediately after departing Al Maktoum International, heading north toward the Iranian coast.
Zagros Mountains
The dramatic, folded limestone ridges of the Zagros range stretching across western Iran.
Dasht-e Kavir
The Great Salt Desert of Iran, showcasing mesmerizing white salt crusts and swirling geological patterns.
Caspian Shoreline
The transition from the arid Iranian plateau to the lush, green southern coastline of the Caspian Sea.
Kazakh Steppe
The vast, flat expanse of the Kazakh wilderness, punctuated by occasional salt lakes and nomadic trails.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get better contrast on the Iranian mountain ridges. During sunset flights, this side offers spectacular views of the sun dipping below the horizon over the Caspian Sea.
