Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscraper clusters of Downtown Dubai and Sheikh Zayed Road.

Clear aerial perspective of the world-famous man-made palm-shaped island and the adjacent World Islands archipelago.

Dammam & Al Khobar
The interconnected urban sprawls of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province are often visible mid-flight.
Kuwait Towers
The landmark three-tower structure and the capital's coastline during the descent into KWI.
Sit in a window seat forward of the wing for the best views of the Burj Khalifa at takeoff. On evening flights, the left side provides a spectacular 'carpet of lights' along the Saudi and Kuwaiti coastlines. Winter months offer the clearest visibility for photography as summer humidity can create a thick haze over the Gulf.

The Persian Gulf
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and the vast horizon separating the peninsula from Iran.
Maritime Traffic
Spot massive cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's most critical shipping lanes.
Offshore Platforms
Industrial oil and gas rigs dotted throughout the Gulf, often flaring brightly at night.
Bubiyan Island
Kuwait's largest island and its salt marshes are visible when the flight approaches from the north.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, making it easier to spot offshore activity. It is the quieter side visually, ideal for passengers wanting a peaceful view of the sea rather than urban landscapes.
