Palm Jumeirah
A spectacular view of Dubai's man-made islands if the flight path tracks west upon departure.
Al Hajar Mountains
The dramatic, jagged peaks of the Omani mountain range as you leave the Arabian Peninsula.
The Horn of Africa
The unique meeting point of the desert and the sea along the Somali coastline.
Mount Kilimanjaro
On clear days, look far inland to spot the snow-capped peak of Africa's tallest mountain.
Dar Es Salaam Port
A bird's-eye view of the busy shipping harbor and the city's growing skyline during final approach.
The right side is ideal for land-based scenery. During afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. Try to look west about 45 minutes before landing to catch a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.
