Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic geological formations along the Pakistani and Iranian coastlines, including the rugged Makran range and strategic islands in the Persian Gulf.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🕉️

Dwarka Coastline

Aerial views of the westernmost tip of Gujarat and the historic coastal landscape of Dwarka.

🏜️

Makran Coastline

Spectacular views of the rugged, lunar-like cliffs and mud volcanoes along the coast of Balochistan, Pakistan.

🏔️

Zagros Foothills

The arid and intricately folded mountain ridges of southern Iran meeting the sea.

🏝️

Qeshm and Kish Islands

Distinctive coastal islands known for their unique salt caves and mangrove forests visible from altitude.

⚓

Strait of Hormuz

A view of one of the world's most strategic maritime chokepoints between the Middle East and South Asia.

The right side is highly recommended for morning flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the textures of the Makran and Iranian mountain ranges. Bring binoculars to spot the unique 'Hammerhead' peninsula of Gwadar. During the winter months, the air is typically clearer, providing better visibility of the distant peaks.

🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arabian Sea shortly after departing the Indian coast.

🚢

Global Shipping Lanes

Observation of cargo vessels and tankers converging toward the Strait of Hormuz.

🛢️

Persian Gulf Oil Rigs

Distant views of offshore drilling platforms and gas flares, particularly visible during night flights.

🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

Glimpses of the Kuwait Towers and the Al Hamra Tower if the approach patterns bring the plane from the south.

Sit on the left if you are flying during the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the dense maritime activity in the Gulf. On approach to KWI, look for the distinctive circular water towers that dot the Kuwaiti landscape.
