Mui Ne Sand Dunes

The unique red and white sand formations near Phan Thiet are visible as the flight tracks north-east.

Phan Rang Salt Fields

Bright white geometric patterns of coastal salt pans and nearby vineyards near the Ninh Thuan coast.

🏝️

Cam Ranh Bay

A spectacular final approach featuring deep blue waters, Binh Ba island, and pristine white sand beaches.

The right side is the clear winner for scenic coastal views. To avoid sun glare on the water, book the right side for morning flights. Ensure you have your camera ready 15 minutes before landing, as the descent into CXR over the bay is one of the most beautiful in Vietnam.
