Red Sea Coral Reefs
Stunning turquoise and azure patterns of submerged barrier reefs along the coastline.
King Abdullah Economic City
A clear view of the sprawling mega-project including the deep-water King Abdullah Port.
Jeddah North Corniche
The modern skyline of Jeddah featuring luxury skyscrapers and the Red Sea Mall area.
Obhur Creek
A deep natural inlet known for its marinas and luxury waterfront villas just north of Jeddah.
King Fahd Fountain
If the flight path approaches from the north, look for the world's tallest fountain jetting into the air.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal views. For the most dramatic experience, book a late afternoon flight to witness the sun setting over the Red Sea. Ensure you choose a seat either forward of the wing or at the very back to prevent the wing from obscuring the reef patterns below.

Yanbu Industrial City
Massive scale industrial infrastructure and refineries visible immediately after departure.
Sarawat Mountains
The rugged, dark peaks of the Hijaz range rising sharply from the coastal Tihama plain.
Desert Wadi Systems
Intricate, tree-like patterns of dry riverbeds carved into the golden desert landscape.
Haramain High-Speed Railway
The modern rail line cutting through the desert, connecting the holy cities of Medina and Mecca.
Sit on the left if you enjoy geological formations and mountain landscapes. This side is best during morning flights when the sun illuminates the mountain faces, providing better contrast for photography. Avoid mid-afternoon if you want to stay out of the direct sun.
