Which side of the plane to sit from Fujairah International Airport (Fujeirah) to Bateen Airport (Abu Dhabi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a panoramic view of the UAE's iconic coastal architecture and the dramatic transition from mountains to the capital city.
Dubai Skyline
A distant view of the Burj Khalifa and the concentrated skyscrapers of Dubai along the northern horizon.
Yas Island
Clearly see the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit and the striking red roof of Ferrari World.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
An unparalleled view of the majestic white domes and minarets during the final descent into the city.
Saadiyat Island
The pristine white beaches and the emerging cultural district of the capital.
The right side is the prime spot for urban sightseeing. Expect clear views of the major Abu Dhabi landmarks during the landing phase. Avoid midday flights for the best photographic contrast without harsh shadows.
Hajar Mountains
The sharp peaks and wadis of the Hajar range are visible immediately after departure from Fujairah.
Al Khatim Desert
Vast expanses of rolling red sand dunes that characterize the interior of the Emirates.
Eastern Mangroves
The unique coastal ecosystem surrounding the edges of Abu Dhabi island.
Choose the left side for better views of the rugged mountain geography and the deep interior desert dunes. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the desert textures on this side.
