Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Tuwaiq Escarpment and the dramatic transition from the central Najd plateau into the more rugged landscapes of the Asir region.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Tuwaiq Escarpment

Stunning views of the 'Edge of the World' limestone cliffs that cut through the Arabian Peninsula.

🏜️

Red Sand Dunes

Deep orange and red dunes of the western Najd desert providing high-contrast photography.

🏗️

Al Quway'iyah Region

Views of the industrial and transit hubs along the major highway connecting Riyadh and Mecca.

🏔️

Sarawat Foothills

The terrain becomes increasingly rocky and mountainous as you descend into the Bisha region.

💧

Wadi Bisha System

Ancient dry riverbeds and the King Fahad Dam infrastructure during the final approach.

Sit on the right side for sunset flights to experience a spectacular golden hour over the desert. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic views of the Tuwaiq cliff edges.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏙️

Riyadh Urban Sprawl

Bird's-eye view of the capital's massive expansion and road networks shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Ad-Dahna Sands

Vast stretches of reddish sand dunes visible towards the eastern horizon.

🌾

Al-Kharj Agricultural Circles

Distinct circular green patches of center-pivot irrigation systems visible in the distance.

📉

Southern Tuwaiq Ridges

The gentler eastern slopes of the Tuwaiq mountain range as it tapers southward.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for seeing the geometric patterns of modern Saudi agriculture and the massive footprint of the capital city.
