A380 window seat with engines visible

I'll be flying EK225 from DXB to SFO. I'm flying economy and would like to know if I'd be able to see the engines. My current seat is 60k. Also is A better than K? I'm hoping to face the sun.

Edit: after having a look at this https://www.aerolopa.com/ek-388v-m 54 seems to be the best (as 52 and 53 are taken). Still looking out for better options

This is from 50A. You have to lean a bit forward and look slightly back to get this angle.

and if OP selects something more rearward than this, they won’t see the fan blades. (Dunno if that’s important for them)

That routing goes almost due north out of DXB towards the pole, and then due south towards SFO. Assuming a morning departure from DXB, seat K should be sun-side for the first portion of your flight. Then the sun will be behind the aircraft. As you cross the arctic circle I think it may be night. Then seat A should offer sunshine for the last few hours of the flight.
