Which side of the plane to sit from Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic skylines of the UAE, including the Burj Khalifa, and the dramatic, jagged fjords of the Musandam Peninsula as you exit the Persian Gulf.
Search flights from BAH to BOM
The Persian Gulf
Crystal clear turquoise waters and offshore oil platforms shortly after departure from Bahrain.
Dubai Skyline
On a clear day, the Burj Khalifa and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown Dubai are clearly visible.
Musandam Peninsula
The 'Norway of the Middle East' with its dramatic limestone mountains and deep water inlets.
Strait of Hormuz
One of the world's most strategic maritime chokepoints, bustling with global shipping traffic.
The Arabian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water before the descent toward the Indian subcontinent.
Choose the left side for night flights to see the glittering lights of the UAE coast. For daytime flights, the coastal geology of Oman is best viewed from this side. When landing in Mumbai, this side often provides views of the northern suburbs and the Vasai Creek area.

Qatar Peninsula
Distant views of the Qatari coastline and the Pearl-Qatar development depending on the air corridor.
The Empty Quarter
The northern edges of the Rub' al Khali desert, showcasing vast undulating sand dunes.
Al Hajar Mountains
The rugged, dark volcanic peaks of northern Oman stretching toward the horizon.
South Mumbai Skyline
During the final approach, look for the iconic Marine Drive 'Queen's Necklace' and the dense high-rises of Colaba.
Jawaharlal Nehru Port
One of India's largest container ports located across the bay from the main city.
The right side is superior for the final approach into Mumbai if the flight lands from the West (Runway 09), offering a panoramic view of the city's coastal skyline. Avoid the right side during early morning flights to escape the direct glare of the rising sun over the Arabian Sea.
