Qassim Pivot Irrigation
A surreal display of geometric green circles in the desert, marking one of Saudi Arabia's primary agricultural hubs.
King Fahd Causeway
On clear days during the descent into DMM, you can spot the long bridge connecting the Kingdom to Bahrain.
Dammam-Khobar Skyline

KFIA Desert Rose
As the plane aligns with the runway, look for the unique architectural geometry of the DMM terminal buildings.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the golden hour over the Hail mountains. During descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the yellow desert and the deep blue of the Gulf and Half Moon Bay. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the flight, so a window shade might be necessary for comfort.
