Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Port Sudan New International Airport (Port Sudan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the iconic Dubai coastline upon departure, including the Palm Jumeirah and World Islands, and provides a clearer view of Port Sudan's harbor and the vibrant coral reefs of the Red Sea during the final approach.
Palm Jumeirah
A bird's-eye view of the world-famous man-made islands and the Dubai coastline shortly after departing.
Gulf of Arabia
The deep blue waters of the Gulf contrasted against the golden coastlines of the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Central Arabian Plateau
A vast expanse of desolate beauty, featuring dramatic rock formations and the occasional oasis hidden in the arid landscape.
Port Sudan Harbor
A direct view of Sudan's primary seaport, with its bustling shipping terminals, cranes, and the colonial-era architecture of the city center.
Red Sea Crossing
A majestic transition from the high-altitude mountains of Arabia to the deep blue expanse of the Red Sea.
The right side is ideal for capturing the Port Sudan skyline and the industrial beauty of its docks during the descent. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for significant glare as the sun sets over Africa; however, the sunset views over the Red Sea can be spectacular.
Downtown Dubai
Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscraper cluster of the financial district immediately after takeoff from DXB.
Rub' al Khali
The northern fringes of the 'Empty Quarter', showcasing endless waves of orange sand dunes stretching toward the horizon.
Hejaz Mountains
The rugged, dark volcanic peaks and ancient valleys of western Saudi Arabia as the aircraft nears the Red Sea coast.
Sudanese Reefs
Stunning views of the intricate coral reef systems along the Sudanese coast, visible through the shallow turquoise waters.
Sit on this side for the best views of the Dubai skyline during departure. If the flight is in the morning, the sun will be behind you for most of the journey, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Saudi desert and the Sudanese coastline.
