Sabarmati Riverfront
Aerial view of Ahmedabad's developed urban riverfront immediately after takeoff from AMD.
Gulf of Kutch
Watch the coastline transition from the dry terrain of Gujarat to the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
Hajar Mountains
Dramatic jagged peaks and deep wadis visible as the flight enters UAE/Oman airspace during descent.
Dubai Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern, you can often see the Burj Khalifa and Dubai's skyscrapers in the distance.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Hajar Mountains. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the UAE coastline during the final approach.

Rann of Kutch
The vast white salt marshes are visible to the north if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
Musandam Peninsula
The 'Norway of the Middle East' with its unique fjords and rocky outcrops near the Strait of Hormuz.
Sharjah Corniche
Excellent views of the Al Majaz waterfront and the Sharjah city center during the final landing phase.
The right side is ideal for evening flights as it offers a front-row seat to the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct red sand dunes of the Northern Emirates as the plane crosses the coast.
