Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Moscow to Dubai. While the landing approach favors the left, the takeoff from Moscow offers more sustained scenic interest over a longer period. Right-side seats capture Moscow's urban geography during climb, and the right side also provides views of the Caucasus Mountains during the southern portion of the flight, making it the better overall choice for this route.

During takeoff from Vnukovo (VKO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Moscow's urban sprawl and the Moskva River system as the aircraft climbs southeastward from Vnukovo. The city's ring roads and suburban development are clearly visible during the initial climb phase. Notable sights include: Moskva River (winding through Moscow), Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), Luzhniki Stadium area, suburban Moscow sprawl extending south.

When landing at Dubai International (DXB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into Dubai. The aircraft descends from the northwest, and left-side passengers see the Persian Gulf coastline, Dubai's Palm Jumeirah development, and the city's distinctive high-rise clusters along the coast. Notable sights include: Persian Gulf (coastline and shallow waters), Palm Jumeirah (artificial islands), Dubai Marina skyline, Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai cluster.
