Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Caspian Sea coastline, the most dramatic ridges of the Zagros Mountains, and a prime perspective of the Persian Gulf and Palm Jebel Ali during the descent into DWC.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Caspian Sea

The deep blue horizon of the world's largest inland body of water as the flight tracks along its eastern coast.

🐚

Aral Sea Basin

The striking and somber landscape of the receding Aral Sea and the surrounding salt flats.

🏔️

Zagros Peaks

Dramatic, snow-capped ridges and deep valleys of western Iran, offering the most scenic part of the journey.

🚤

Persian Gulf

Transition from the rugged Iranian coastline to the turquoise waters of the Gulf.

🌴

Palm Jebel Ali

A clear, bird's-eye view of the massive palm-shaped artificial island located very close to DWC's approach path.

The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun while capturing the stunning sunset over the Persian Gulf. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Iranian coast for high-contrast mountain shadows. During the descent, this side provides the best view of the coastline developments near the Jebel Ali port.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

West Siberian Plain

Vast agricultural and steppe landscapes stretching south from the Omsk region into Kazakhstan.

🇰🇿

Astana Skyline

A distant view of the futuristic architecture of Kazakhstan's capital city depending on the specific flight corridor.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

Expansive golden and red sand dunes of the Central Asian desert crossing Uzbekistan.

⛰️

Central Zagros

Incredible views of the eastern spurs of the Iranian mountains, featuring unique geological folds.

🏙️

Dubai Downtown

A distant view of the Burj Khalifa and the city's main skyline as you approach the airport from the north.

The left side is ideal for morning flights if you prefer to see the landscape illuminated by the rising sun, though glare can be an issue. Watch for the lights of Astana if flying at night. During the final approach to DWC, look out for the massive scale of the Dubai South development project.
