Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the iconic view of the Dubai skyline during departure and a dramatic panorama of the Lebanese mountains and Beirut city upon arrival.

Burj Khalifa
A stunning view of the world's tallest building and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown Dubai shortly after takeoff.
Gulf Coastline
Detailed views of the industrial ports and shipping activity along the United Arab Emirates' western shore.
Mount Lebanon
The rugged limestone peaks of the Lebanon range, often covered in snow between December and April, visible during the approach.
Beirut Skyline
A clear view of the dense urban sprawl of Beirut and its Mediterranean waterfront as the plane turns for its final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival into Beirut. If the plane lands on Runway 16, you will fly directly alongside the mountains and the city. For departures from DXB, the right side usually provides the most direct view of the Burj Khalifa. In winter, keep your camera ready for the striking contrast between the white mountain peaks and the coastal city.

The World Islands
An incredible aerial perspective of the massive artificial archipelago shaped like a world map just off the Dubai coast.
An Nafud Desert
Observe the vast, undulating red sand dunes of the northern Saudi Arabian desert during the mid-flight cruise.
The Mediterranean Sea
A peaceful view of the deep blue Mediterranean horizon as the aircraft begins its final descent into Lebanon.
Choose the left side for better views of the artificial islands if the flight path tracks slightly south of the city during climb. On evening flights, this side offers a beautiful sunset view over the Mediterranean Sea. Afternoon flights are generally more comfortable as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft.
