Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for viewing the rugged snow-capped peaks of the Zagros Mountains in Iran and the winding paths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, especially during early morning light.
Syrian Desert
Expansive views of the basalt-covered landscapes and nomadic routes of the northern Arabian plateau.
Mesopotamian Rivers
Aerial perspective of the historic Tigris and Euphrates rivers as they snake through the fertile Iraqi plains.
Zagros Mountains
Dramatic, folded mountain ridges across Iran, often featuring snow-capped peaks during winter and spring.
Dasht-e Kavir
Iran's Great Salt Desert, showcasing stunning geological patterns and salt crust formations from high altitude.
Hindu Kush Silhouette
On clear days, the distant northern horizon reveals the massive silhouettes of the high Afghan and Pakistani ranges.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. The mountain scenery over Iran is best viewed in the middle third of the flight; use a window seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the river valleys.
Kuwait City Coastline
Glittering views of the Persian Gulf coast and the urban sprawl of Kuwait if the flight path tracks southward.
Indus River Plains
The transition from the arid Baluchistan region to the lush, irrigated agricultural heartland of Pakistan.
Thar Desert
The golden rolling sand dunes of Rajasthan as the flight approaches the Indian border.
Delhi Urban Sprawl
The massive, dense cityscape of the National Capital Region during the final approach into IGI Airport.
On the right side, expect harsh sunlight for the majority of this eastbound journey. This side is preferable for night flights to see the dense lighting of Gulf cities and the vibrant amber glow of northern Indian urban centers during descent.
