Persian Gulf
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and the busy maritime shipping lanes of the Middle East.
Mount Damavand
Visible in the distance, this iconic dormant volcano is the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East.
Caspian Sea
Glimpses of the southern shoreline and the lush green landscape of the Iranian coast.
Polish Lowlands
The vast, mosaic-like patterns of Polish farmland and the winding Vistula river.
Swedish Coastline
Stunning views of the Malmö skyline and the Baltic Sea's industrial wind farms near the end of the trip.
The right side is perfect for mountain lovers; Mount Damavand is a spectacular sight if the flight path tracks slightly north. Be prepared for strong morning sunlight, so keep your window shade ready. During winter months, the right side often catches the early sunset over the Baltic Sea, creating incredible orange and purple hues across the clouds as you descend into Denmark.

Dubai Coastline
Aerial views of the Palm Jumeirah and The World Islands shortly after takeoff from DXB.
Zagros Mountains
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of western Iran stretch across the horizon for nearly an hour.
Black Sea Coast
The beautiful transition from the Turkish coastline into the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea.
Carpathian Mountains
Dramatic views of the dense forests and winding ridges of the Romanian and Polish highlands.
Øresund Bridge
A clear view of the engineering marvel connecting Denmark and Sweden during the final approach.
Choose the left side for a more comfortable, shaded journey as the sun will primarily be on the opposite side during the northbound flight. For the best photography of the Dubai islands, ensure you are seated behind the wing. If the aircraft lands towards the south, the left side provides the most iconic view of the Copenhagen city center and the harbor just moments before touchdown.
