Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dubai to Adelaide. The left side captures the spectacular Dubai departure views including Palm Jumeirah and the Gulf coastline, and during the flight offers views of the Indian Ocean and the Australian coastline approach. The Adelaide landing views on the right are good but less dramatic than the Dubai departure spectacle.

During takeoff from Dubai International (DXB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Dubai International's primary departure on runway 30L/30R heads northwest, placing the left side facing south over the Dubai Creek, Deira district, and the Persian Gulf coastline. You get a clear view of the Palm Jumeirah and the downtown Dubai skyline as the aircraft banks right toward the southeast. Notable sights include: Palm Jumeirah artificial island, Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai cluster, Dubai Creek and Deira waterfront, Persian Gulf coastline.

When landing at Adelaide International (ADL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Adelaide Airport's primary arrivals typically come from the north or northeast on runway 23, meaning the aircraft approaches from the northeast over the Adelaide Hills and descends toward the coast. The right side faces northwest, giving views over the Adelaide CBD grid, Gulf St Vincent, and the Yorke Peninsula beyond. Notable sights include: Gulf St Vincent and its coastline, Adelaide CBD street grid, Mount Lofty Ranges to the east, Yorke Peninsula across the gulf.

The flight from Dubai International (DXB) to Adelaide International (ADL) takes Approximately 12 to 13 hours.

The route tracks southeast from Dubai across the Arabian Sea, passing south of the Indian subcontinent over the open Indian Ocean. The Maldives atolls may be visible as tiny white specks in turquoise water if the track passes nearby. The flight then crosses the vast open Indian Ocean for several hours with no land visible, before making landfall over the remote coast of Western Australia near the Pilbara or Kimberley region, then crossing the Australian interior over the Great Victoria Desert and Nullarbor Plain before descending toward South Australia.
