AMD β DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic, offering a continuous view of the rugged Pakistani and Iranian coastlines, dramatic mountain formations, and the busy maritime activity in the Strait of Hormuz.
Gulf of Kutch
Intricate patterns of salt pans and tidal flats of the Gujarat coast immediately after departure.
Karachi Skyline
The sprawling metropolis of Karachi and the massive Indus River Delta branching into the sea.
Makran Coastline
Stunning 'moonscape' geological formations and white clay cliffs along the coast of Balochistan.
Strait of Hormuz
One of the world's most vital shipping lanes, usually filled with massive cargo ships and tankers.
Qeshm Island
The largest island in the Persian Gulf, featuring unique eroded landscapes and mangrove forests.
Persian Gulf Islands
Numerous small islands and offshore oil platforms dotting the vibrant turquoise waters during the cross-over.
This is the premier side for this route. Request a seat forward of the wing to get unobstructed views of the Iranian coast. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane, providing the perfect lighting for photographing the dramatic rock formations of the Makran coast. If landing from the north, you may also see the Pearl-Qatar and West Bay skyline just before touchdown.
Arabian Sea Expanse
The first half of the flight is dominated by the deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea.
Al Hajar Mountains
Distant views of the jagged peaks in northern Oman and the UAE rising from the desert.
UAE Coastline
Faint silhouettes of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai's skyline are often visible in the distance on clear days.
Al Wakrah Coast
The southern Qatari coastline and the developing city of Al Wakrah as the plane descends into Doha.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. During the final descent into DOH, keep an eye out for the turquoise reef patterns near the Qatari coast. This side is generally quieter visually until the final 20 minutes of flight.
