Which side of the plane to sit from Salalah Airport (Salalah) to Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of scenic coastal views upon departure and the impressive urban sprawl of Sharjah and Dubai during the approach.
Salalah Shoreline
Vibrant turquoise waters and white sandy beaches visible immediately after takeoff.
Rub' al Khali
Aerial perspective of the towering sand dunes of the Empty Quarter desert.
Sharjah Skyline
Excellent views of the Al Majaz Waterfront and the dense skyscraper clusters.
Port Khalid
Detailed views of the industrial port and maritime vessels during final approach.
Dubai Horizon
On clear days, the Burj Khalifa and Dubai skyline are visible to the west.
Opt for a seat forward of the wing to capture the contrast between the desert and the sea. Evening flights are particularly magical as the city lights of the UAE begin to glitter.
Dhofar Mountains
Rugged peaks and deep wadis that turn lush green during the Khareef season.
Central Oman Plateau
A vast, desolate landscape showing the raw beauty of the Arabian Peninsula.
Al Hajar Range
The silhouettes of Oman's highest mountains visible to the eastern horizon.
Sharjah Industrial Area
A bird's-eye view of the rapidly expanding infrastructure and logistics hubs.
E311 Highway
The intricate patterns of the UAE's major road networks during the descent.
The right side is best for viewing the mountain ranges of Oman shortly after takeoff. Avoid this side during afternoon flights to prevent sun glare from the west.
