Venice Historic Center
Immediately after takeoff, witness the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square, and the unique shape of the Venetian fish-shaped island.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The flight path typically follows the Croatian coastline, revealing hundreds of turquoise-rimmed islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Taurus Mountains
Spectacular views of the rugged mountain range running along the southern edge of the Anatolian plateau in Turkey.
Mesopotamian Marshes
View the historic wetlands and the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers as you enter the Persian Gulf region.
Lusail Stadium
The golden-clad 'bowl' stadium and the futuristic city of Lusail are clearly visible during the descent into Hamad International.
The right side is non-negotiable for photographers wanting the 'Venice from above' shot. Be ready with your camera within the first 5 minutes of departure. During the day, the Adriatic views are world-class, but be mindful of the afternoon sun glare which can be intense over the desert.

To the north, the snow-capped peaks of the Italian and Slovenian Alps are visible shortly after departure.
Belgrade and the Danube
As you traverse the Balkans, look for the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the Serbian capital.
Anatolian Plateau
The rugged, high-altitude terrain of central Turkey offers a stark, moon-like landscape during the mid-flight phase.
The Pearl-Qatar
On the final approach into Doha from the north, this side offers a perfect view of the luxury man-made island complex.
West Bay Skyline
The illuminated skyscrapers of Doha's financial district appear stunningly on evening arrivals.
Choose the left side for spectacular mountain views over Turkey and the best perspective of Doha's modern architecture during northern approaches. This side stays cooler during afternoon flights as it faces away from the direct southern sun for much of the journey.
