Left Side Highlights

🏝️

Hormozgan Coastline

Aerial views of the southern Iranian coast and islands in the Persian Gulf shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Makran Coastal Range

Dramatic, eroded desert mountain landscapes along the southwestern coast of Pakistan.

🏜️

Sulaiman Mountains

A major geological feature of Pakistan with sharp peaks and deep valleys running northwards.

🌄

Potohar Plateau

The undulating landscape of the plateau leading into the capital city during descent.

❄️

Himalayan Vistas

On very clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Hindu Kush and Karakoram are visible to the north.

Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the desert mountains. During the descent into ISB, keep your eyes north for a chance to see Nanga Parbat in the far distance if the horizon is clear.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Arabian Sea

The transition from the Persian Gulf to the open sea along the Pakistani coastline.

🚢

Gwadar Port

View of the hammerhead-shaped peninsula and the rapidly growing deep-sea port.

🌾

Indus River Basin

The winding Indus River and the lush green agricultural heartland of the Punjab province.

🧱

Salt Range

Unique geological formations and salt mines located between the Jhelum and Indus rivers.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a better perspective of the vast Indus plains and the intricate network of canals that define Pakistan's agricultural landscape.
