Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Khartoum International Airport (Khartoum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route, offering a high probability of seeing the iconic Dubai skyline during departure and providing the best angle for the dramatic confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers upon arrival in Khartoum.

Dubai Skyline
A stunning aerial view of the Burj Khalifa and downtown Dubai immediately after takeoff from DXB.
Palm Jumeirah
The world-famous man-made archipelago is often visible as the plane climbs and turns toward the southwest.
Red Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the turquoise coastal waters and deep blue maritime channels between the continents.
The Confluence
The 'Al-Mogran' point where the White Nile and Blue Nile meet, creating a visible color contrast.
The right side is the 'money side' for photographers. For the best Dubai views, hope for a northwest departure. During the descent into Khartoum, the right side usually offers the iconic view of the White Nile meeting the Blue Nile. Late afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Red Sea crossing, though summer dust storms can occasionally obscure the ground in Sudan.

Rub' al Khali
Vast stretches of the Empty Quarter's rolling orange sand dunes across central Saudi Arabia.
Asir Mountains
The rugged, dark peaks of the southwestern Arabian highlands before crossing the coast.
Blue Nile
The winding, silt-rich waters of the Blue Nile as it approaches the Sudanese capital from the south.
Choose this side if you are flying during the early morning to avoid direct sun glare. It provides excellent views of the deep desert terrain of the Arabian Peninsula. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the arid desert to the fertile banks of the Blue Nile just minutes before landing.
