DXBTUN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more diverse visual experience, featuring the iconic Dubai skyline upon departure, the vast expanses of the Saudi and Saharan deserts, and the stunning coastline of North Africa.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Dubai Skyline

Clear views of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai shortly after takeoff if departing towards the west.

🏜️

An Nafud Desert

The mesmerizing red-orange longitudinal dunes of northern Saudi Arabia's great desert.

🌿

Nile Delta Contrast

The sharp, straight line where the lush green vegetation of the Nile valley meets the harsh Egyptian desert.

🐪

Libyan Sahara

Intricate geological formations and wind-swept sand patterns across the world's largest hot desert.

🌊

North African Coast

The vivid turquoise waters of the Mediterranean meeting the rugged shores of eastern Libya and Tunisia.

Choose the left side for the best chance to see the Burj Khalifa during takeoff from DXB. During mid-flight, keep your window shade down when not looking out, as the sun will be on this side for most of the westbound journey, potentially causing heat and glare. The transition from the Nile's greenery to the Sahara's void is the highlight of this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚤

The Persian Gulf

Deep blue waters dotted with cargo ships and oil platforms as you exit the UAE airspace.

🏛️

Jordanian Highlands

The rugged, mountainous terrain around Amman and the ancient landscapes of the Levant.

💧

The Dead Sea

On clear days, the shimmering, salt-rimmed turquoise waters of the lowest point on Earth are visible to the north.

🚢

Mediterranean Expanse

Vast maritime views with potential sightings of remote islands and shipping lanes.

🏰

Cape Bon Peninsula

The green, fertile tip of Tunisia and the Gulf of Tunis during the final descent into Carthage.

The right side is ideal for photography as it remains in the shade for the duration of the flight, eliminating lens flare. It offers better views of the Dead Sea and the Levant region. If the flight path is slightly more northerly, you may even catch a glimpse of the Mediterranean islands like Crete or Malta in the far distance.
