Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Al Hajar Mountains and the rugged Omani coastline during the descent into Muscat.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Rann of Kutch

The vast saline mudflats and the unique white desert landscape of northern Gujarat are visible early in the flight.

🌊

Gulf of Kutch

Observe the busy shipping lanes and the industrial port infrastructures of Mundra and Kandla to the north.

⛰️

Al Hajar Mountains

The majestic and jagged 'Rocky Mountains' of Oman provide a stark, beautiful contrast against the desert floor during descent.

🏙️

Muscat Architecture

The distinct white-washed buildings and low-rise skyline of the Omani capital nestled between mountains and the sea.

Choose a seat behind the wing on the right for the most iconic approach into Muscat. The transition from the deep blue Gulf of Oman to the dark, jagged peaks of the Al Hajar Mountains is the highlight of the trip. This side is typically shaded on westbound morning flights, providing better visibility for photography.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Ahmedabad Cityscape

Aerial views of the Sabarmati Riverfront and the dense urban sprawl of Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff.

⛴️

Saurashtra Peninsula

The southern coastline of Gujarat is visible as the flight transitions from land to the open Arabian Sea.

🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

An uninterrupted view of the deep blue waters, frequently dotted with international cargo ships and tankers.

🏝️

Omani Coastline

The rugged cliffs and secluded bays south of Muscat near Quriyat come into view during the final approach.

Ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Arabian Sea. During the day, the sun remains on this side for much of the journey, so keep your window shade partially closed if it gets too bright. This side provides a great view of the Gujarat coastline fading away.
