Which side of the plane to sit from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the Dubai skyline, including the Burj Khalifa, and the rugged Hajar Mountains during the approach.
Ahmedabad Cityscape
Aerial view of the Sabarmati River and the dense urban layout of Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Kutch
The transition from the Indian mainland to the Arabian Sea, featuring vast salt pans and coastal wetlands.
Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, craggy mountain ranges as the flight enters the airspace of Oman and the UAE.
Dubai Skyline
A prime view of the Burj Khalifa and the Downtown Dubai skyscrapers during the standard arrival pattern.
Arabian Desert
Sweeping views of the reddish-orange dunes on the outskirts of the Dubai metropolitan area.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, this side will be sun-drenched, providing excellent lighting for ground features, though glare can be high. During the final descent into DXB, look out for the Burj Khalifa as the plane often banks to align with the runway.
Rann of Kutch
The northern expanse of the salt marshes visible during the initial climb out of Gujarat.
Arabian Sea Traffic
Vast stretches of the ocean where you can spot tankers and cargo ships moving toward the Strait of Hormuz.
Musandam Peninsula
The spectacular 'fjords of Arabia' with deep inlets and rocky cliffs along the Omani coastline.
The World Islands
The massive artificial archipelago shaped like a world map, visible if the flight approaches from the Persian Gulf.
Sharjah Waterfront
Views of the neighboring emirate's lagoons and high-rise buildings just before touchdown.
The right side remains in the shade for most of this westbound flight, making it ideal for photography without window glare. It offers a unique perspective of the Musandam Peninsula's geography. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline from the sea into the UAE for views of the offshore artificial islands.
