DXB → HRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Kharkiv International Airport (Kharkov)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for the spectacular departure views of the Dubai skyline, including the Burj Khalifa, and the high probability of spotting the snow-capped peak of Mount Ararat.
Dubai Skyscrapers
Unrivaled views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense financial district shortly after takeoff from DXB.
Dasht-e Kavir
The edge of the Great Salt Desert in Iran, showcasing vast, desolate salt flats.
Mount Ararat
The legendary dormant volcano and its smaller sister peak, visible near the Turkish-Armenian border.
Black Sea Crossing
Deep blue maritime views as the flight path transitions from the Anatolian coast toward Ukraine.
The right side is best for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Persian Gulf. Keep your camera ready about midway through the flight to capture the distinctive twin peaks of Mount Ararat.
Persian Gulf Coastline
Striking views of the turquoise waters and the coastal industrial landscape of the Northern Emirates.
Zagros Mountains
Incredible patterns of folded sedimentary rock layers across the western Iranian plateau.
Lake Urmia
A unique perspective of this massive salt lake, often appearing with distinct reddish or white salt crusts.
Central Ukraine Steppe
A patchwork of vast agricultural fields and meandering river systems as the plane descends.
Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Watch for the dramatic change from arid desert to the lush greenery of the Ukrainian plains.
