The Alps
On clear days, distant but impressive views of the snow-capped European Alps to the south.
Anatolian Plateau
Rugged, arid terrain and high-altitude lakes across the heart of Turkey.
Persian Gulf
Deep blue waters and the silhouettes of massive cargo ships waiting to enter the Strait of Hormuz.
Dubai Skyline
The best view of the Burj Khalifa and the cluster of skyscrapers along Sheikh Zayed Road.
The World Islands
The artificial archipelago shaped like a world map is often visible during the descent.
The right side is the 'money side' for the Dubai arrival. To maximize your view, book a seat in front of or well behind the wing. Because the flight (EK36) departs Newcastle mid-day, you will have excellent sunlight over Europe and Turkey, transitioning to a spectacular night-time light show over the UAE.

Northern Europe
Aerial views of the Netherlands and the dense urban landscapes of Germany.
Zagros Mountains
Spectacular views of the folded mountain ridges in Iran as the flight crosses into the Persian Gulf.
Deira and Creek
As you land, the left side offers views of the older, historic parts of Dubai and the bustling Creek area.
Choose the left side if you want to see the dramatic mountain ranges of Iran during the late afternoon. Since the flight often arrives after dark, the left side provides a great view of the brightly lit residential districts of Sharjah and North Dubai.
