Al-Masjid an-Nabawi
The sprawling Prophet's Mosque complex and its iconic green dome can often be seen shortly after takeoff from MED.
Mount Uhud
A massive, historic mountain range on the northern edge of Madinah, visible during the initial climb.
Harrat Khaybar
One of Saudi Arabia's largest volcanic fields, featuring rare white volcanic cones and vast black basalt lava flows.
Al-Ula Sandstone
Dramatic sandstone canyons and towering rock monoliths that characterize the majestic Al-Ula valley.
Hegra Heritage Landscape
The unique geological setting of the UNESCO-listed Nabataean tombs visible as the flight tracks northward.
For the most vibrant views, opt for a left-side window seat on an afternoon flight. The western sun illuminates the dark volcanic basalt and the red sandstone of Al-Ula, creating high-contrast textures. Watch for the volcanic craters approximately 15-20 minutes into the flight.
