Coastal Plains
The scenic transition where the golden sands of the Tihamah plains meet the deep blue of the Red Sea.
Red Sea Reefs
Extensive and colorful coral reef systems clearly visible through the shallow, turquoise coastal waters.
Yanbu Industrial City
A major global shipping and industrial hub with sprawling port infrastructure and coastal refineries.
Obhur Creek
A picturesque waterway north of Jeddah known for its recreational resorts and boating activity.
King Fahd's Fountain
The world's tallest fountain is often visible shooting water high into the air during the final descent.
This side is superior for afternoon flights as you can witness the sun setting over the Red Sea. As you approach Jeddah, the pilot often banks over the water, providing a perfect angle to see the Jeddah waterfront and the Islamic Port. Keep your camera ready as you pass Yanbu for the best reef photos.

Wadi as-Sirhan
A massive geological depression that stretches from the Jordanian border into Saudi Arabia.
Harrat Al-Harrah
A vast basaltic volcanic field visible shortly after takeoff with distinctive dark rock formations.
Hijaz Mountains
The rugged and ancient mountain range that runs parallel to the coast, providing a dramatic backdrop.
East Jeddah
An expansive view of the city's rapid urban growth towards the inland mountain foothills.
Choose this side for morning flights to see the Hijaz mountains clearly illuminated without the sun's glare. Look for the 'Harrats' (lava fields) which look like dark spilled ink across the desert floor. The mountain shadows are particularly dramatic during the early hours.
