Hijaz Mountain Range
Stunning views of the rugged, dark peaks that define the western edge of the Arabian Peninsula.
Ancient Volcanic Fields
Look for the vast, black basaltic flows of the Harrats, evidence of ancient volcanic activity in the region.
Wadi Al-Hamd
Cross over one of the longest dry riverbeds in Saudi Arabia, weaving through the desert landscape.
Medina Outskirts
On clear days, the distant horizon to the southeast may reveal the outskirts of the holy city area.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is best for viewing the dramatic shadows over the mountain canyons and the stark contrast of the volcanic fields against the desert sand.
