Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular finale with views of the Pearl-Qatar and the Arabian coastline during the descent into Doha, along with clear views of the Turkish highlands and the Iraqi desert landscapes.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Prague Cityscape

A clear bird's-eye view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River in the Czech Republic.

💧

Lake Tuz

One of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world, appearing as a bright white or pinkish expanse in Central Anatolia.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic, snow-capped limestone peaks stretching across southern Turkey.

🏜️

Arabian Desert

Stunning geometric patterns created by sand dunes and occasional oil infrastructure in the Gulf region.

🏝️

The Pearl-Qatar

The iconic man-made archipelago and luxury marinas visible during the low-altitude descent into Hamad International.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route, particularly for the approach into Doha. For flights arriving in the late afternoon, the golden hour light creates incredible shadows over the Taurus Mountains and the desert dunes. Be ready with your camera about 20 minutes before landing to capture The Pearl and Lusail City.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Tatra Mountains

Jagged alpine peaks along the border of Slovakia and Poland visible shortly after departure.

🌲

Transylvanian Alps

The dense green ridges of the Southern Carpathians in Romania provide a lush contrast to the later route.

🌊

Black Sea Coast

Distant views of the Western Black Sea shoreline as the flight crosses into Turkish airspace.

🛶

Tigris River

The historic waterway snaking through the Mesopotamian plains of Iraq.

🏙️

Doha West Bay

A sweeping view of the futuristic skyscraper cluster of Qatar's capital during the final approach.

Choose the left side for better views of the European mountain ranges and the Tigris River. On morning flights, this side remains cooler and avoids the direct glare of the sun as you head southeast. Ensure your window is clean to capture the high-contrast landscape of the Romanian forests.
