Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range and glacier-carved valleys shortly after departure.
Adriatic Coastline
Vibrant views of the Croatian islands and the deep blue waters along the Dalmatian coast.
Zagros Mountains
Massive, folded sedimentary rock formations creating a rhythmic landscape along the Iraq-Iran border.
Southern Iraqi Marshes
The unique wetland ecosystem where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers converge near Basra.
Kuwait City Skyline
A panoramic view of the city's modern architecture and the iconic Kuwait Towers during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Alps and to avoid harsh afternoon sun. This side provides the most dramatic views of the Zagros mountain folds, which are a geological marvel. If flying at night, look for the sprawling orange glows of oil fields in southern Iraq and northern Kuwait.

Bavarian Foothills
Lush green forests and rolling hills of Southern Germany immediately after takeoff.
Turkish Riviera
Views of the rugged Mediterranean coastline of Turkey and the turquoise waters near Antalya.
Mesopotamian Plains
The vast, arid landscapes of the fertile crescent stretching between the historic Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Bubiyan Island
Kuwait's largest island, showcasing a network of tidal channels and salt marshes as you cross the border.
Jaber Causeway
One of the longest bridges in the world, stretching across Kuwait Bay, clearly visible on the right during approach.
The right side is excellent for viewing the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which may require closing the window shade. During the landing pattern into KWI, this side often gets a spectacular view of the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway.
