ROV → DXB
Which side of the plane to sit from Platov International Airport (Rostov) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the snow-capped Caucasus peaks, the dramatic geology of the Zagros Mountains, and the most favorable angle for viewing Dubai's iconic coastal architecture during the descent.

Mount Elbrus
The highest peak in Europe is a dominant feature on the horizon as you cross the Caucasus range shortly after takeoff.
Lake Urmia
A massive salt lake in Iran known for its striking red and turquoise colors depending on the season and mineral content.
Zagros Mountains
Extraordinary folded mountain ridges that resemble giant waves carved into the Iranian landscape.
Downtown Dubai
A spectacular view of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers along Sheikh Zayed Road during the approach to DXB.
For the best views of the Caucasus, sit ahead of the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze. The mountain ranges are most spectacular in winter when fully snow-capped. On the final descent into DXB, the right side frequently offers the best views of the Palm Jumeirah and World Islands if the wind requires a northern approach.

Caspian Sea Coastline
Scenic views of the western shore of the world's largest inland sea as the flight traverses Azerbaijan.
Baku Cityscape
The Flame Towers and modern architecture of the Azerbaijan capital are often visible near the coastline.
Dasht-e Kavir
Ethereal views of the Great Salt Desert in central Iran, featuring unique geological swirl patterns.
Strait of Hormuz
The vital maritime chokepoint between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman is visible during the final cruise phase.
This side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Caspian Sea. During night flights, look for the intense clusters of lights from oil rigs in the Caspian and the urban glow of Shiraz and Bandar Abbas.
