KWIDOH

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a stunning sequence of urban landscapes and industrial marvels, including the skylines of Kuwait City and Doha, and the massive energy hubs along the Saudi and Qatari coasts.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

A magnificent view of the Kuwait Towers and the dense urban core immediately following departure.

🛢️

Ahmadi Oil Fields

One of the world's most productive oil regions, featuring vast networks of pipes and storage tanks.

🏭

Ras Laffan

A massive industrial complex in northern Qatar, serving as a global hub for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).

💎

The Pearl-Qatar

The iconic man-made island shaped like a pearl necklace, visible during the approach into Doha.

🏢

West Bay Skyline

A panoramic view of Doha's futuristic skyscrapers as the aircraft aligns for landing at Hamad International.

This is the premier side for this route. For the best lighting on the skylines, opt for a morning flight. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight for the most spectacular views of Doha's artificial islands and modern architecture.

🏝️

Failaka Island

An ancient island with a mix of historical ruins and modern settlements visible shortly after takeoff from Kuwait.

🌊

Persian Gulf

Expansive views of the turquoise waters and the deep blue horizon of the Arabian Gulf.

🏗️

Offshore Rigs

Brightly lit oil and gas platforms that appear like small floating cities in the middle of the sea.

🏖️

Al Safliya Island

A small, crescent-shaped island located just off the coast of Doha seen during the final descent.

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy a glare-free view of the horizon. It is particularly scenic at night when the offshore oil platforms are illuminated against the dark water.
