Harrat Rahat
Saudi Arabia's largest lava field featuring dramatic volcanic craters and black basalt flows near Madinah.
Al-Ahsa Oasis
The world's largest self-contained oasis, appearing as a massive dark green forest in the middle of the desert.
Ghawar Field
The world's largest conventional oil field; look for industrial grids and flares in the desert landscape.
Half Moon Bay
The distinct crescent-shaped coastline south of Khobar just before crossing into Bahraini airspace.
Manama Skyline
A panoramic view of Bahrain's financial district skyscrapers as the aircraft banks for landing at BAH.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to capture the sun hitting the desert dunes and the Manama skyline. Look down immediately after takeoff to see the volcanic craters of Harrat Rahat. The Al-Ahsa Oasis is best viewed from a high altitude, roughly mid-way through the journey.

Mount Uhud
Iconic red-tinted mountain located just north of Madinah city shortly after takeoff.
Al-Qassim Greenery
Large circular irrigation fields creating a striking geometric contrast against the yellow desert sands.
Ad Dahna Desert
The narrow strip of high-altitude red sand dunes that connects the An Nafud and Rub' al Khali deserts.
Dammam Port
The massive industrial infrastructure of the King Abdulaziz Port visible as you reach the coast.
King Fahd Causeway
The 25km series of bridges and causeways connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'green circles' of the Qassim agricultural region about 30-40 minutes into the flight. On clear days, the causeway is highly visible during the initial descent phase.
