TIFDMM

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic landmarks, including a potential view of the Riyadh skyline and the majestic King Fahd Causeway connecting to Bahrain during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Shafa Escarpment

Dramatic views of the steep cliffs and winding roads dropping from the Ta'if highlands.

🏜️

Ad-Dahna Red Dunes

The striking orange and red sands of the desert belt that separates Najd from the Eastern Province.

🏙️

KAFD Skyline

Excellent views of the King Abdullah Financial District and the Kingdom Centre when bypassing Riyadh.

🌉

King Fahd Causeway

The iconic 25km bridge linking Saudi Arabia to Bahrain is clearly visible during the approach to DMM.

🏖️

Half Moon Bay

The crescent-shaped coastline and turquoise waters of the Gulf near Al Khobar.

The right side is the 'landmark side.' For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun illuminating the Riyadh towers and the Gulf coastline. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes to capture the causeway and the coastal developments.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Northern Sarawat Peaks

Observe the rugged, high-altitude granite peaks of the Hijaz range immediately after takeoff.

🏜️

Najd Plateau

A vast expanse of central Arabian desert featuring ancient rocky outcrops and wadis.

🏙️

Riyadh Suburbs

A perspective of the rapid urban expansion in the northern districts of the capital city.

🏭

Ras Tanura Industry

Distant views of the massive energy infrastructure and ports near the Arabian Gulf coast.

Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you for clearer photos. Watch for the transition from the mountainous Hijaz region into the flat, arid Najd plateau within the first 20 minutes of flight.
