The right side is premier for the 'Dubai Approach.' For the best experience, sit ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of The World Islands. On clear winter days, you can see the distinctive silhouette of the Burj Al Arab in the distance. During sunset flights, the skyline is silhouetted against the sea, providing excellent photo opportunities.
