Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dubai to Duesseldorf. The left side delivers the best views at both ends of the flight — Dubai's iconic coastline and skyline on departure, and the Rhine valley and Dusseldorf city center on arrival. Along the cruise portion, the left side also faces generally south toward the Persian Gulf coast, Turkey's Taurus Mountains, and the Aegean, though at cruising altitude both sides offer similar distant views.

During takeoff from Dubai International (DXB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Dubai International's primary departure runway 30L/30R sends aircraft northwest over the city. The left side captures the Dubai skyline including Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa, plus the Palm Jumeirah and the coastline of the Arabian Gulf as the aircraft climbs and banks. The right side faces inland toward the desert with little of interest. Notable sights include: Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai cluster, Palm Jumeirah artificial island, Dubai Marina towers along the coast, Arabian Gulf coastline stretching toward Abu Dhabi.

When landing at Dusseldorf (DUS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Dusseldorf Airport typically uses runway 05L/05R or 23L/23R. On approach from the southeast on runway 23, the left side looks south over the Rhine River as it curves through the city, with the Altstadt and the Rhine Tower visible. On the more common northeasterly approach to runway 05, the left side still captures the Rhine valley and the city center on final. Notable sights include: Rhine River curving through Dusseldorf city center, Altstadt (Old Town) district along the Rhine bank, Rhine Tower (Rheinturm) telecommunications tower, Cologne Cathedral visible on the horizon to the south on clear days.

The flight from Dubai International (DXB) to Dusseldorf (DUS) takes Approximately 6 hours 30 minutes to 7 hours.

The route tracks northwest over the UAE and Oman coast, then crosses Iran's Zagros Mountains (visible as a dramatic folded ridge system), the Caspian Sea or southern Turkey depending on routing, the Black Sea or Bosphorus strait near Istanbul, then across Bulgaria and Romania before entering Central Europe over Austria or the Czech Republic and descending into the Rhine-Ruhr region of western Germany.
