DXBBUZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Bushehr Airport (Bushehr)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of Dubai's iconic skyline upon departure and provides the best angle of the Bushehr peninsula during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Dubai Skyline

Clear views of the Burj Khalifa and the sprawling Downtown Dubai district immediately after takeoff from DXB.

🏝️

The World Islands

An aerial perspective of the artificial archipelago shaped like a world map just off the coast of Dubai.

🌊

Persian Gulf Horizon

The transition from the turquoise coastal waters of the UAE to the deep sapphire of the central Gulf.

⚓

Bushehr Peninsula

A unique view of the narrow strip of land where the city of Bushehr is located as the plane turns for its final approach.

🏖️

Shif Island

A view of the small, sandy islands near the Iranian coast as you descend toward the airport.

Book a window seat on the left (A or B) for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for seeing the Dubai landmarks like the World Islands shortly after rotation. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes and the last 15 minutes of the flight for the most scenic coastal shots.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏗️

Port Rashid

The massive commercial port and maritime hub of Dubai visible during the initial climb.

🛳️

Maritime Traffic

Observation of tankers and cargo ships navigating the busy shipping lanes of the Persian Gulf.

⛰️

Zagros Mountain Range

On clear days, the distant, rugged peaks of the Iranian mainland are visible as the flight nears its destination.

⚛️

Industrial Infrastructure

Views of the significant industrial and energy-related facilities located along the southern Iranian coastline.

🏜️

Coastal Salt Flats

The distinctive white salt crusts and arid terrain of the Bushehr province as you cross the shoreline.

The right side (typically F or K) is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, highlighting the Iranian landscape. It offers better views of the rugged mainland terrain and the shipping corridors of the Gulf. Look out for the distinctive turquoise patterns of the shallow coastal waters near the Iranian side.
