Tuwaiq Escarpment
The 'Edge of the World' limestone ridge that cuts a dramatic line through the central desert.
Ad-Dahna Red Sands
A striking narrow corridor of reddish sand dunes that connects the northern and southern deserts.
Kuwait City Skyline
The iconic Kuwait Towers and the modern high-rises of the financial district as you approach the coast.
The Arabian Gulf
The shimmering turquoise and deep blue waters of the Gulf visible during the terminal arrival phase.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the red dunes of Ad-Dahna. During the approach to Kuwait, keep your camera ready for the transition from desert to sea. If landing on Runway 33L/R, you will get an excellent view of the coastal urban sprawl and the Gulf coastline.

Hijaz Mountains
The rugged, dark volcanic peaks and ancient granite ridges surrounding Taif during the initial climb.
Najd Plateau
The vast, high-altitude rocky desert of the central Arabian Peninsula with unique erosion patterns.
Al-Qassim Greenery

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a great perspective of the shadows stretching across the Hijaz mountains shortly after takeoff. Look for the contrast between the sandy plains and the ancient volcanic fields (Harrat) in the distance.
