BAHDEL

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the dramatic Musandam Peninsula and the rugged Makran coastline before crossing the expansive Thar Desert into India.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Muharraq & Amwaj

Excellent views of Bahrain's man-made islands and reef structures immediately after departure from BAH.

🏔️

Musandam Peninsula

The 'Norway of the Middle East' with its dramatic fjords and steep cliffs jutting into the Strait of Hormuz.

🏜️

Makran Coastal Range

The unique geological formations and mud volcanoes along the southern coast of Balochistan.

🐪

Thar Desert

Vast stretches of golden sand dunes and remote settlements across the Rajasthan-Sindh border region.

🏛️

Qutub Minar

On a clear day during the southern approach, you may spot this historic brick minaret and the surrounding complex.

This is the preferred side for coastal geography. Aim for a morning flight to see the Musandam Peninsula illuminated by the rising sun. During the winter months, watch for heavy smog layers over Delhi which can obscure views during the final 20 minutes.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Manama Skyline

Aerial view of the Bahraini capital and the iconic Bahrain World Trade Center shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Iranian Coastline

View of the northern shores of the Persian Gulf and the rugged Zagros Mountain foothills in the distance.

🏞️

Indus River Valley

The lush green corridor of the Indus River in Pakistan providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding arid terrain.

🏙️

Gurugram Skyscrapers

The modern high-rises of the Cyber City area as the plane aligns for its final approach into Delhi.

Look out for the Iranian coast about 45 minutes into the flight. If traveling during the day, the northern side usually has less direct sun glare, making it easier to photograph the transition from the Persian Gulf to the Indus plains.
