KUL → RUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to King Khaled International Airport (Riyadh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transitions from the tropical Andaman Sea to the rugged Al Hajar Mountains of Oman and the unique red-sand landscapes of central Saudi Arabia.

Al Hajar Mountains
The stark, jagged limestone peaks of Oman rising sharply from the coastal plains.
Muscat Shoreline
The white-washed architecture of Oman's capital nestled between the mountains and the Gulf of Oman.
Ad-Dahna Desert
The distinct 'river' of red sand dunes that connects the Great Nafud to the Rub' al Khali.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Panoramic views of the Klang Valley and the Titiwangsa Mountains shortly after takeoff.
Select a seat well ahead of or behind the wing to capture the dramatic mountain-to-desert transition over Oman. For night flights, the right side is preferred as it typically tracks closer to the bright coastal lights of the UAE and Northern Oman before turning inland toward Riyadh.

Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Aerial views of the lush, green island chains scattered across the turquoise Bay of Bengal.
Laccadive Sea
Deep blue oceanic expanses as the flight passes the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent.
The Empty Quarter
The vast, undulating orange dunes of the Rub' al Khali, the world's largest contiguous sand desert.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views if you are on an afternoon departure from Kuala Lumpur. During the final approach into Riyadh, this side often provides a broader view of the sprawling suburban expansion of the city.
