Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dubai to Tel-aviv. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise over Saudi Arabia and the Sinai Peninsula, the left side also faces south toward the Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba, which can be visible on clear days as the route passes over northwestern Saudi Arabia.

During takeoff from Dubai International (DXB), sit on the Left side for the best views. DXB's primary departure runways (30L/30R) head northwest, placing the left side facing southwest over Dubai city center, the Palm Jumeirah, and the coastline of the Arabian Gulf. You get a sweeping view of the entire Dubai waterfront as the aircraft banks left toward its westward track. Notable sights include: Palm Jumeirah artificial island, Dubai Marina skyscraper cluster, Burj Al Arab on its peninsula, Dubai Creek and Deira district.

When landing at Ben Gurion (TLV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Ben Gurion's primary landing runway 26 approaches from the east, meaning the aircraft tracks westward on final approach. The left side faces south, giving views over Tel Aviv's urban coastline along the Mediterranean and the city's beachfront. Runway 08 arrivals from the west would favor the right side, but the dominant westward approach makes left the better bet. Notable sights include: Tel Aviv beachfront and Mediterranean coastline, Yarkon River mouth north of the city, Tel Aviv urban grid and port district, the low Judean foothills rising to the east.

The flight from Dubai International (DXB) to Ben Gurion (TLV) takes Approximately 3 hours 20 minutes.

The flight tracks northwest over the UAE, crosses the Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter) northern edge, passes over central Saudi Arabia near Riyadh's latitude, then crosses the Hejaz region toward the Gulf of Aqaba. The Sinai Peninsula is visible before descent into Israel, with the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba and Gulf of Suez potentially visible as distinct blue water bodies flanking the Sinai triangle on clear days.
