UAE Desert Dunes
Vast stretches of the Al Khatim desert and red sand dunes immediately after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
The rugged, jagged peaks of the mountain range stretching across the UAE and Oman border.
Western Ghats
Lush, forest-covered mountain ranges of Kerala, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for biodiversity.
Tabletop Landing
A unique view of the approach to CCJ’s famous tabletop runway, which sits on a plateau surrounded by valleys.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; the transition from the Western Ghats to the tabletop runway landing is one of the most scenic in India.
