Dubai Skyline
Shortly after takeoff from SHJ, look south to see the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of downtown Dubai.
Red Desert Dunes
Vast stretches of the Arabian desert featuring intricate sand patterns and orange-hued dunes.
Harrat Basalt Fields
Ancient volcanic fields in northern Saudi Arabia appearing as dark, jagged patches against the desert floor.
Wadi Rum
The stunning sandstone mountains and red sands of Jordan's famous 'Valley of the Moon' near the southern border.
The Dead Sea
The shimmering turquoise and salt-rimmed shores of the lowest point on Earth during the final descent phase.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left (A) on an afternoon flight. As the sun sets in the west, the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum will glow with deep reds and oranges. Watch the descent carefully about 20 minutes before landing to catch the Dead Sea rift valley.

Persian Gulf Coast

Sharjah Lagoons
Direct bird's-eye view of Sharjah’s Khalid Lagoon and Al Majaz area immediately after takeoff.
An Nafud Desert
The northern reaches of the great Saudi desert stretching toward the horizon of the Iraqi border.
East Amman Plains
The unique limestone architecture and sprawling residential blocks of Amman's eastern suburbs.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. While less scenic than the left in terms of landmarks, it provides a clearer view of Sharjah's urban layout and the vast, quiet expanses of the eastern Jordanian panhandle.
