Which side of the plane to sit from Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the potential to see the Dead Sea during the cruise and provides the iconic view of the Doha skyline and The Pearl-Qatar during the final approach into Hamad International Airport.

Larnaca Salt Lake
An immediate view of the historic salt lake and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque right after departure.
Levant Urban Centers
Depending on the specific air corridor, views of Beirut or the northern Israeli coastline are frequently visible.
The Dead Sea
On clear days, the shimmering, turquoise waters of the Dead Sea and the surrounding Judean Desert appear to the south.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate man-made islands of The Pearl are a highlight during the standard arrival pattern into Doha.
Doha West Bay
A stunning view of the futuristic skyscrapers and the Corniche as the plane lines up for landing.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Doha's skyline. For evening flights, you will be treated to the city's spectacular LED light displays. During the day, look for the sharp contrast between the deep blue Gulf and the beige desert sands.

Cypriot Coastline
Striking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the southeastern tip of Cyprus immediately after takeoff from Larnaca.
Mount Lebanon
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of the Lebanon mountain range are visible as the flight crosses the Levantine coast.
Syrian Desert
Vast, undulating landscapes of the Syrian and northern Arabian deserts with unique geological patterns.
Persian Gulf Coast
The northern coastline of the Gulf comes into view as the aircraft begins its descent towards the Qatari peninsula.
On the left side, the morning sun can be quite intense during eastbound flights, so keep the window shade partially down early on. It is the best side for observing the transition from the Mediterranean to the mountainous Levant region.
