DWC → TJM
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the prime choice for this route, offering a potential glimpse of the iconic Dubai skyline during the initial ascent from DWC, followed by the vibrant geological patterns of the Iranian salt deserts and the vast Siberian forests.
Dubai Skyscrapers
Excellent views of the Burj Khalifa and the central Dubai skyline if the flight path tracks northeast after takeoff.
Dasht-e Kavir
The Great Salt Desert of Iran features incredible swirling salt crusts and wind-eroded geological formations.
Mount Damavand
Look for the majestic, snow-capped volcanic cone of the Alborz range, the highest peak in the Middle East.
Caspian Horizon
Panoramic views over the center of the world's largest inland body of water, spectacular at sunrise or sunset.
West Siberian Taiga
Dense coniferous forests and frozen river meanders dominate the landscape as you approach Tyumen.
For the best experience, choose a seat on the right side to maximize your chances of seeing the Dubai skyline. On overnight flights arriving in Tyumen at dawn, this side offers a spectacular view of the sun rising over the Siberian plains. During winter months, the sudden appearance of snow-covered forests in Russia is a highlight not to be missed.
Persian Gulf Coastline
Striking views of the turquoise waters and the UAE's industrial coast as you climb to cruising altitude.
Zagros Mountains
The dramatic limestone ridges of western Iran create a textured, moon-like appearance from above.
Western Caspian Sea
Vast blue expanses where the sea meets the coastal plains of the Caucasus region in the distance.
Ural Mountain Range
Ancient, weathered peaks that serve as the traditional boundary between the European and Asian continents.
Kazakh Steppe
A massive expanse of golden and green plains that characterize the transition into Central Asia.
The left side provides a consistent view of the rugged mountain ranges of Iran and the Urals. If you are flying during the day, the sun will be primarily on the opposite side, which reduces glare and makes for clearer photography of the landscape below. Look for the transition from arid desert to green steppe as you cross the 45th parallel north.
