KRT → BAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Khartoum International Airport (Khartoum) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic views of the journey, including the Blue Nile winding through Sudan and the spectacular King Fahd Causeway upon the final approach into Bahrain.
The Blue Nile
A stunning aerial view of the river's winding path as it flows north from Khartoum toward the Egyptian border.
Ad Dahna Sand Belt
A striking narrow strip of high, reddish-orange sand dunes that stretches across the heart of Saudi Arabia.
King Fahd Causeway
The impressive 25-kilometer series of bridges and causeways connecting Saudi Arabia to the island of Bahrain.
Manama Skyline
Panoramic views of the Bahrain World Trade Center and the modern architecture of the Financial Harbour during the landing pattern.
This is the 'money' side for the approach into BAH. Ensure your window is clear for the descent, as the King Fahd Causeway is best viewed from approximately 10,000 feet. If flying at sunset, the desert dunes of the Najd region glow with intense color.
Red Sea Shoreline
Vibrant turquoise waters and intricate coral reef systems along the western coast of Saudi Arabia.
Hijaz Mountains
Dramatic, rugged peaks and volcanic landscapes that characterize the western edge of the Arabian Peninsula.
Al-Qassim Irrigation
Massive, perfectly circular green fields of center-pivot irrigation standing out against the golden desert sand.
Dammam Seaport
Views of one of the busiest shipping hubs in the Persian Gulf as the flight begins its descent.
The left side is preferable for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare. Keep an eye out for the transition from the arid Sudanese plains to the mountainous Saudi coast shortly after crossing the Red Sea.
