Kuwait City
A brilliant view of the Kuwait Towers and the crescent-shaped Kuwait Bay as the plane heads south.
Ad-Dahna Desert
The vast golden sands of the Saudi Arabian eastern desert stretching toward the horizon.
Kingdom of Bahrain
A spectacular aerial view of the entire island nation, including its reclaimed land projects.
King Fahd Causeway
The 25km series of bridges and causeways connecting the Saudi mainland with the island of Bahrain.
Doha West Bay
During the final approach, the skyline of Doha's financial district is often visible from this side.
This is the prime side for landmark spotting. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of Kuwait and Bahrain. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Saudi-Bahrain border for the most iconic views.

Basra & Shatt al-Arab
The confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates, creating a lush corridor amidst the surrounding arid lands.
Bubiyan Island

Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights as the sun sets to the west. This side provides a better view of the deep blue Persian Gulf and the industrial activity of the regional ports. Look for the distant Iranian coastline on exceptionally clear days.
