Tuwaiq Escarpment
The 'Edge of the World' limestone cliffs provide a massive natural wall visible shortly after departing Riyadh.
Riyadh Expansion
Aerial views of the rapid urban development and modern infrastructure in northern Riyadh.
Wadi Al-Rummah
The longest valley in the Arabian Peninsula, appearing as a winding trail across the desert floor.
Jabal Salma
One of the two main mountain ranges of Hail, featuring dark granite peaks that contrast sharply with the sand.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. An afternoon flight is ideal as the sun illuminates the Tuwaiq cliffs and casts long shadows that highlight the rugged terrain of the Shammar mountains during landing.

Jabal Aja

The Right Side is excellent for spotting the 'green circles' of Al-Qassim's famous farms. If flying during the morning, this side provides better lighting for the red sands of the Ad-Dahna desert without the direct glare of the sun.
