Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Ha'il Airport (Hail)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of iconic urban landmarks during departure and more dramatic topographical features upon arrival. It provides views of Dubai's famous man-made islands and the striking granite peaks of the Aja Mountains near Ha'il.

Palm Jumeirah & World Islands
Unparalleled views of Dubai's artificial archipelagos during the initial climb-out over the Gulf.
Arabian Gulf Coastline
The stunning contrast between the turquoise sea and the white sands of the UAE and Saudi coasts.
Abu Dhabi Skyline
Distant but clear views of the UAE capital's high-rises and the sprawling mangroves of the coast.
Aja Mountain Range
The dramatic granite rock formations that flank the city of Ha'il, appearing rugged and sharp from above.
Ha'il City Center
A clear view of the city's unique layout as it nestles between the mountain ranges during final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it avoids the harshest glare. For the best views of the Palm Jumeirah, choose a window seat forward of the wing. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of flight for the dramatic transition from desert to the Aja Mountains.

Bird's-eye view of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscraper corridor if departing on an eastward runway.
Al Marmoom Desert
Expansive orange-hued dunes and protected desert conservation areas shortly after takeoff.
Rub' al Khali Fringes
The northern edges of the 'Empty Quarter' showcase massive, rhythmic longitudinal sand dunes.
Al-Nafud Desert
Deep red sand patterns that characterize the northern Arabian interior as you approach Ha'il.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is best for observing the sheer vastness of the Arabian desert. Look for small desert settlements and occasional green circular pivot-irrigation farms that stand out against the sand.
