FRA → BAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the Eastern Alps and avoids direct sunlight for the majority of the flight, while offering the best perspective of Manama's skyline during the final approach.
Eastern Alps
Breathtaking views of the Austrian Tyrol peaks and glacial valleys shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Anatolian Plateau
The high-altitude, rugged terrain of central Turkey featuring dramatic geological formations.
Zagros Mountains
Distant views of the massive, snow-capped Iranian mountain ranges across the Persian Gulf.
Manama Skyline
Panoramic views of the Bahrain World Trade Center and the modern financial district during the descent.
Sit on the left to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun during daytime flights. In the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the artificial islands of the Amwaj project and the glowing lights of the capital if arriving at night.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning turquoise waters and countless islands of the Croatian coastline along the Adriatic Sea.
Cyprus
Clear aerial views of the Mediterranean's third-largest island, often visible in its entirety.
Arabian Desert
The vast, rolling sand dunes of northern Saudi Arabia as the flight transitions into the Gulf region.
King Fahd Causeway
The impressive 25km series of bridges and causeways connecting Bahrain to the Saudi mainland.
The right side is essential for seeing the King Fahd Causeway, a major landmark. However, be prepared for potential heat haze during the summer months which can obscure ground details over the desert areas.
