Gulf of Guinea
Sweeping views of the Atlantic coastline and the Lagos barrier islands shortly after takeoff.
Nile Confluence
The breathtaking sight of the White and Blue Nile merging at Khartoum, a major geographical highlight.
Hijaz Mountains
Dramatic views of the jagged, dark mountain ranges running parallel to the Red Sea coast.
The Empty Quarter
Distant views of the Rub' al Khali, the largest contiguous sand desert in the world.
The Pearl-Qatar
Clear views of the iconic man-made islands and luxury developments just before touching down at Hamad International.
The Nile crossing is the crown jewel of this route; it typically occurs 4.5 to 5 hours into the flight. Keep your window shade open and your camera ready as you pass over Sudan. For daytime flights, the right side provides excellent light for capturing the turquoise hues of the Persian Gulf reefs near Qatar.

Lagos Metropolis
Stunning aerial views of Victoria Island and the sprawling Lagos mainland during the initial ascent.
Sahara Vastness
The desolate yet beautiful patterns of the Ténéré and Sudanese desert dunes stretching to the horizon.
Red Sea Crossing
Deep blue waters contrasting with the arid coastline as the flight leaves Africa for the Arabian Peninsula.
Central Arabian Plateaus
High-altitude views of the volcanic fields and rocky outcrops of central Saudi Arabia.
Doha Skyline
A panoramic view of the West Bay skyscrapers and Lusail as the plane banks for its final approach.
Choose the left side for the best chance of seeing the Doha skyline during arrival, especially on a nighttime flight when the city is illuminated. If departing LOS in the morning, this side avoids the harshest direct sunlight over the Sahara, allowing for better photography of the desert textures.
