Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Mineralnyye Vody Airport (Mineralnye Vody)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for Dubai's iconic coastal architecture upon departure and an unparalleled view of the highest peaks in Europe, including Mount Elbrus, during the descent into the Caucasus region.

Palm Jumeirah & The World
Unmatched aerial views of Dubai's man-made islands and the Burj Al Arab shortly after takeoff.
The Persian Gulf
A vast expanse of turquoise water as the flight heads north towards the Iranian coastline.
Western Zagros Mountains
Dramatic, folded rock formations and deep canyons of the Iranian plateau's western edge.
Mount Elbrus
Europe's highest peak is often visible to the west as the aircraft enters the Russian Caucasus airspace.
Choose a seat in the front of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. On afternoon flights, the sun is on the left, which can be bright, but it provides the best front-lighting for the Caucasus mountains during the final approach. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the best Dubai views.

Downtown Dubai & Sharjah
A panoramic view of the Burj Khalifa and the dense urban skyline stretching into Sharjah.
Central Iranian Deserts
Vast, arid landscapes and salt flats characterizing the heart of the Iranian interior.
Caspian Sea Coast
Distant views of the southern Caspian shoreline depending on the specific flight corridor used.
Greater Caucasus Range
The continuous, jagged spine of the Caucasus mountains as you cross from Georgia into Russia.
The right side is excellent for morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft for much of the journey, reducing glare. Look out for the transition from the brown, arid landscapes of Iran to the surprisingly green and lush valleys of the North Caucasus.
