Which side of the plane to sit from King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) to Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of urban skylines and dramatic mountain ranges. As you cross the Persian Gulf, you'll likely spot the glittering lights of major hubs like Dubai and the rugged northern terrain of the Iranian coast.

Red Sea Coast
The turquoise waters and coral reefs near Jeddah's coast right after takeoff.
Riyadh Skyline
The sprawling Saudi capital with its iconic Kingdom Centre tower often visible in the distance.
Gulf Hubs
Views of the Persian Gulf islands and the skylines of Doha or Dubai depending on the exact corridor.
Zagros Mountains

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. On evening flights, the sunset over the Arabian desert creates long, dramatic shadows. Keep a close eye on the window about 2.5 hours into the flight for the best Persian Gulf views.
