The Empty Quarter
The northern fringes of the Rub' al Khali, showing endless rolling sand dunes of immense scale.
Ghawar Oil Field
Fly over the world's largest conventional oil field, visible through its grid-like network of roads and facilities.
Half Moon Bay
The iconic crescent-shaped bay south of Khobar, known for its turquoise waters and recreation spots.
King Fahd Causeway
The impressive 25km series of bridges connecting Saudi Arabia to the island nation of Bahrain.
Arabian Gulf Coast
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the industrial hubs of Dhahran and Al Khobar during the final descent.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the descent into Dammam, as pilots often loop over the Gulf, providing a panoramic view of the coastline and the bridge to Bahrain.

Nejran Valley
Aerial view of the lush wadi and ancient city settlements nestled between rugged mountains upon takeoff.
Ad-Dahna Desert
The striking red sand dunes of the narrow desert belt that connects the north and south sand seas.
Riyadh Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the capital city can be spotted on the western horizon.
Al-Ahsa Oasis
The massive green expanse of the world's largest palm oasis contrasting sharply with the surrounding desert.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the central Najd plateau. This side is also better for spotting the unique geography of the Tuwaiq Escarpment if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
