Karakum Desert
Expansive black sand dunes and remote desert landscapes across Turkmenistan.
Dasht-e Kavir
The Great Salt Desert of Iran, featuring unique salt crust patterns and desolate beauty.
The World Islands
The massive man-made archipelago shaped like a map of the world as you cross the coastline.
Palm Jumeirah
Unrivaled views of the iconic tree-shaped island and its luxury resorts during final approach.
Burj Al Arab
The world-famous sail-shaped hotel standing prominently on the Dubai shoreline.
Persian Gulf Sunset
On late afternoon flights, the sun sets directly over the water, creating a golden reflection.
Sit on the right for the most photogenic arrival. Most flights approach DXB from the northwest over the water, putting the Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab directly in your line of sight. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the Gulf, but be mindful of window glare if taking photos.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It offers excellent views of the rugged Iranian interior and a wide-angle perspective of the UAE's northern emirates during the descent. Watch for the Amu Darya river early in the flight near the Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan border.
