KWIBAH

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Arabian coastline, including major industrial hubs, desert formations, and the iconic King Fahd Causeway during the descent into Bahrain.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Al Khiran Sea City

A massive man-made canal city in southern Kuwait with intricate water-front developments.

🏜️

Saudi Arabian Coast

Clear views of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, where the desert sands meet the blue waters.

🏭

Jubail Industrial City

One of the world's largest industrial hubs, identifiable by its massive infrastructure and ports.

🌉

King Fahd Causeway

The 25-kilometer bridge system connecting Khobar to Bahrain, highly visible during the descent.

🏙️

Manama Skyline

Stunning views of the Bahrain Financial Harbour and the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

Sit on the right for the most iconic landmarks. The King Fahd Causeway is the star attraction; try to book an afternoon flight to see the bridge and the Manama skyline illuminated by the setting sun.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

Aerial perspective of the Kuwait Towers and the dense urban sprawl of the capital immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Failaka Island

Historical island located to the east, often visible as the aircraft gains altitude over the Gulf.

🌊

Turquoise Gulf Waters

The flight spends significant time over the Persian Gulf, showcasing beautiful gradients of blue and green.

🏘️

Amwaj Islands

A group of man-made islands in Bahrain seen on the northern approach to the runway.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a more tranquil view of the open sea and is excellent for spotting the artificial island clusters near Bahrain's coast during the final descent.
