Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more consistent panoramic view of the dramatic Zagros mountain range and provides the iconic perspective of the man-made islands in Doha during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Black Sea Coast

Catch the transition from the Romanian coastline to the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Zagros Mountains

Dramatic, folded limestone ridges and deep valleys along the border of Iraq and Iran.

🏗️

The Pearl-Qatar

The intricate layout of man-made islands and luxury marinas as the plane banks for its final descent into Doha.

🏙️

Lusail City

Views of the futuristic Katara Towers and the emerging skyline of Qatar's newest sustainable city.

On morning flights, the left side remains in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without window glare. During descent, stay alert about 15 minutes before landing for the best views of the Qatari coastline and residential developments.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Bucharest Skyline

A clear view of the Palace of the Parliament and the urban sprawl of the Romanian capital right after departure.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

The snow-capped peaks and rugged terrain of southern Turkey's major mountain chain.

💧

Mesopotamian Rivers

The historic Tigris and Euphrates rivers winding through the arid landscapes of Iraq.

🌃

Kuwait City

The bright urban lights and coastal refineries visible while cruising south along the Persian Gulf.

Ideal for afternoon flights to witness spectacular desert sunsets over the Arabian Peninsula. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid the intense desert sun, and look for the contrast between the green river valleys and the yellow desert sands over Iraq.
