DXB → EVN
Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic Mount Ararat during the final descent into Yerevan, making it the superior choice for scenery.
Dubai Coastline
Aerial views of the Palm Jumeirah and The World Islands shortly after takeoff from DXB.
Persian Gulf
Deep blue waters dotted with cargo ships and offshore oil platforms as the plane heads north.
Zagros Mountains
The rugged, snow-capped ridges of western Iran provide a dramatic and continuous geological display.
Lake Urmia
The striking salt-crusted shores and turquoise waters of one of the largest endorheic lakes in the Middle East.
Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped peak of biblical fame dominates the window as you approach the Armenian border.
Sit on the left side (Seat A) for the absolute best view of Mount Ararat on descent. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern face of the mountain. Ensure your window is clean, as the descent into Yerevan happens quickly once the mountain is in view.
Dubai Skyline
A spectacular view of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai upon departure.
Iranian Plateau
Vast desert landscapes and unique salt formations characteristic of central Iran's arid geography.
Historic Isfahan
Depending on the flight corridor, you may spot the sprawl of one of Iran's most historic and beautiful cities.
Mount Aragats
The four-peaked volcanic massif and the highest point within Armenia's current borders.
Lake Sevan
The shimmering blue 'Jewel of Armenia' is often visible to the northeast during the final approach pattern.
The right side (Seat F or K) is better if you want to see the Burj Khalifa during the initial climb out of DXB. On the approach to EVN, keep an eye out for Lake Sevan in the distance. This side is typically brighter on afternoon flights as the sun is on the port side.
