Jebel Hafeet
View the iconic limestone mountain standing tall over Al Ain immediately after takeoff from AAN.
Makran Coastal Range
Observe the unique mud volcanoes and moon-like rock formations along the Balochistan coastline of Pakistan.
Sulaiman Mountains
Rugged, arid peaks that form the eastern edge of the Iranian Plateau as the flight tracks north.
Khyber Pass
Look west during the final approach to spot the historic gateway connecting Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Kabul River
The winding river marking the fertile valley floor as the plane maneuvers for landing at Peshawar.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare while viewing the Balochistan coast. This side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the desert. The descent is particularly scenic as the terrain transitions from arid mountains to the green Peshawar valley.
