Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an iconic view of the Dubai skyline immediately after takeoff and a superior perspective of the Jordanian Highlands and the Dead Sea during the approach into Amman.
Dubai Skyline
Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai shortly after departure.
Palm Jumeirah
Look down to see the world-famous man-made islands and the Burj Al Arab along the coastline.
An-Nafud Desert
Cross over the vast, reddish-gold sand dunes of the northern Arabian Peninsula.
The Dead Sea
On the descent into Amman, catch a glimpse of the shimmering salt-rich waters at the lowest point on Earth.
Jordanian Highlands
The rugged terrain and deep wadis leading up to the plateau of Amman provide a dramatic landscape shift.
Select a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Dubai skyline. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Jordanian desert and the Dead Sea without glare.
Persian Gulf Coast
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and the industrial ports along the UAE and Saudi coastlines.
Harrat al-Sham
Observation of the dark, volcanic basalt fields that span the border regions of Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
Amman Cityscape
View the sprawling 'White City' of Amman, built across several hills, as the plane banks for landing.
Circular Irrigation
Spot the distinctive green circular crop patterns in the middle of the Saudi Arabian desert landscape.
The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the unique volcanic landscape (Black Desert) near the end of the flight, which is more prominently visible from this side when approaching from the east.
