Search flights from SHJ to HAS
Persian Gulf Coast
Views of the turquoise waters and the industrial ports of the UAE and Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.
Dammam Shoreline
The sprawling coastal development and man-made islands of the Dammam and Khobar metropolitan area.
Nafud Desert Edge
The golden expanse of the Great Nafud desert begins to appear as the flight enters the Ha'il region.
Mount Aja
The rugged granite peaks of the Shammar mountain range that dominate the skyline as you descend into Ha'il.
This is the best side for photography during the descent into Ha'il. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to capture the granite formations of the Aja mountains. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the desert colors.

Sharjah Skyline
Aerial views of the Khalid Lagoon and the dense urban architecture of Sharjah shortly after takeoff.
Al-Dahna Red Dunes
A striking corridor of high, reddish-orange sand dunes that connect the Great Nafud and the Rub' al Khali.
Agricultural Circles
Geometric center-pivot irrigation fields creating green patterns against the arid Saudi landscape.
Riyadh Distance View
On clear days, the distant sprawl of the Saudi capital can be spotted far to the south.
Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the northern sun. Look for the sharp contrast between the red sands of the Dahna and the grey limestone plateaus of central Arabia.
