Sarawat Mountains
Dramatic views of Yemen's high-altitude peaks, including the highest points in the Arabian Peninsula shortly after takeoff.
Sana'a Basin
Aerial perspective of the high-altitude plateau surrounding the historic capital, known for its unique gingerbread-style architecture.
Tuwaiq Escarpment
The massive limestone cliff that runs through central Arabia, visible as a sharp geographical transition.
Riyadh Outskirts
Distant views of the sprawling urban expansion of the Saudi capital if the flight path tracks centrally.
Book a morning flight to see the mountain shadows in high relief. The Left Side (Seat A/B) avoids the direct afternoon sun when heading north-northeast, reducing glare for photography. Look for the 'Edge of the World' formation as you cross central Saudi Arabia.

Rub' al Khali
Stunning views of the 'Empty Quarter', the largest contiguous sand desert in the world, featuring massive orange dunes.
Ghawar Oil Field
The world's largest conventional oil field, visible via its vast network of roads and infrastructure in the Eastern Province.
Persian Gulf Coast
The turquoise waters of the Gulf and the sprawling industrial ports of the Eastern Province on final approach.
Half Moon Bay
The iconic crescent-shaped bay south of Dammam, a popular recreation spot visible during the descent.
The Right Side is best for desert enthusiasts wanting to see the deep dunes of the Empty Quarter. Late afternoon flights on this side offer a spectacular 'golden hour' glow over the sand, though it can get hot. Keep an eye out for the massive circular irrigation farms in the desert.
