Hajar Mountains
The sharp, jagged peaks of the Oman and UAE mountain range as the plane enters Gulf airspace.

Meydan Racecourse

Seat yourself on the right for the best chance of seeing the Burj Khalifa. Flights usually approach DXB from the east or west; an eastern approach (Runway 30) offers the best skyline views from this side. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you during the mid-flight crossing, providing better visibility for photography.
