Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Caucasus mountain range, the Mesopotamian plains, and the iconic artificial islands of Dubai during the final approach from the Persian Gulf.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Mount Elbrus

Europe's highest peak is often visible in the distance as you traverse the Caucasus region.

🏜️

Mesopotamian Basin

The stark transition from the mountains to the vast, arid plains of the Middle East.

💧

Persian Gulf

Turquoise waters contrasting against the golden sands of the Arabian Peninsula.

🏝️

The Palm Jumeirah

The world-famous tree-shaped artificial archipelago visible during the descent into DXB.

🏗️

The World Islands

The unique collection of man-made islands shaped like a world map just off the coast.

Sit on the right for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for photography during the final 20 minutes of flight, as most approach patterns circle over the Gulf, offering a panoramic view of Dubai's coastline and its architectural wonders.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Sea of Azov

Glittering views of the shallowest sea in the world shortly after departure.

🏔️

Mount Ararat

The snow-capped dormant compound volcano visible as you cross near the Armenian border.

⛰️

Zagros Mountains

Breathtaking folded rock formations and deep valleys across the Iranian plateau.

🏙️

Downtown Dubai

A stunning perspective of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscraper cluster of the financial district.

Choose this side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Caspian horizon. During night landings, it provides a better view of the vibrant city lights of Sharjah and the older districts of Dubai Creek.
