DXB β†’ JUB

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic views, including the Dubai skyline and Palm Jumeirah during departure, followed by the spectacular winding path of the White Nile as you approach Juba.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ—Ό

Burj Khalifa

Stunning views of the world's tallest building and the Downtown Dubai skyline shortly after takeoff from DXB.

🏝️

Palm Jumeirah

The famous man-made island shaped like a palm tree is often visible as the aircraft banks toward the southwest.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦

Central Saudi Arabia

Intricate geological formations and circular irrigation farms visible across the vast Arabian interior.

πŸ™οΈ

Khartoum & Nile Confluence

Views of the Sudanese capital and the area where the Blue and White Niles merge into a single river.

🐍

White Nile Meanders

Spectacular views of the White Nile's winding path and riverine forests as the flight enters South Sudanese airspace.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure unobstructed views of the Dubai landmarks. As the plane descends into Juba, the White Nile will be a constant companion on this side; keep your camera ready for the dramatic oxbow lakes and the river's silver reflection during late afternoon flights.

πŸ™οΈ

Dubai Creek

Aerial perspective of the historic heart of Dubai and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary during initial climb.

🏜️

The Empty Quarter

Glimpses of the vast Rub' al Khali, the world's largest contiguous sand desert, across the Arabian Peninsula.

🌊

Red Sea Coastline

Dramatic views of the Sudanese coast where the arid mountains meet the deep blue waters of the Red Sea.

🌾

Gezira Scheme

One of the world's largest irrigation projects, visible as a massive patchwork of green fields in central Sudan.

πŸ’§

Sudd Wetlands

The expansive marshy landscapes of South Sudan, characterized by intricate water channels and lush vegetation.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a better look at the irrigation patterns in Sudan, which contrast sharply with the surrounding desert. During the final approach, this side offers views of the sprawling suburbs of Juba.
