Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the dramatic transition from the Red Sea coastline and Tihama plains to the sheer cliffs of the Sarawat mountain escarpment.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Red Sea Shoreline

Striking views of the coral reefs and turquoise coastal waters near Jeddah during the initial climb.

🏞️

Tihama Coastal Plain

The broad, sandy expanse that separates the Red Sea from the massive Sarawat mountain range.

🏔️

Sarawat Escarpment

Breathtaking views of the steep, jagged mountain walls that rise sharply to over 2,000 meters above sea level.

🛤️

Wadi Bisha Systems

The complex network of dry riverbeds and green patches of vegetation that follow the natural water drainage toward Bisha.

The right side is best for morning flights (07:00–10:00) when the sun perfectly illuminates the western cliffs. Sit forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the dramatic escarpment where the mountains meet the coastal plains. Clear winter mornings offer the most visibility as summer haze can often obscure the distant horizon.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Jeddah Urban Core

A comprehensive view of Jeddah's rapid urban expansion and the King Abdulaziz International Airport complex upon departure.

🕋

Makkah Region Peaks

Distant silhouettes of the rugged mountains surrounding the holy city of Makkah located to the east.

🏜️

Asir Plateau

The vast, rocky desert interior of the Arabian Peninsula as the aircraft prepares for its final descent into Bisha.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side offers better views of the high-altitude volcanic fields (Harrats) that dot the landscape between the mountains and the interior plateau.
