Ideal for mid-day flights as it stays out of the direct southern sun, reducing glare on the window. Look for the massive industrial architecture of the Jebel Ali Free Zone during the final minutes of flight. This side is also better for spotting the distinctive Palm Jebel Ali if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
