BAH → KHI
Which side of the plane to sit from Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain) to Jinnah International Airport (Karachi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a spectacular panorama of the Arabian Peninsula's northern coast, including the UAE's architectural wonders and the dramatic Omani fjords, followed by a coastal approach into Karachi.
Amwaj Islands
The sprawling man-made archipelago of Bahrain is clearly visible as the flight climbs over the Persian Gulf.
Dubai Coastline
On clear days, the distinct silhouettes of the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Jumeirah can be spotted in the distance.
Musandam Peninsula
The 'Norway of Arabia' with its sharp mountain peaks and deep turquoise fjords cutting into the sea.
Strait of Hormuz
One of the world's most important shipping lanes, often dotted with massive tankers and cargo ships.
Karachi Harbor & Clifton
A stunning view of the Arabian Sea meeting the city, including Manora Island and the long stretch of Clifton Beach.
The Right Side is preferred for evening arrivals to see the vibrant city lights of the UAE and Karachi. During the day, the glare from the sun is less intense on this side during the eastbound journey. Look out for the intense blue of the Gulf of Oman mid-flight, which offers excellent contrast for photography.
Manama Skyline
A clear view of the Bahrain World Trade Center and the city's modern architecture immediately after takeoff from BAH.
Qeshm Island
The largest island in the Persian Gulf, featuring unique salt caves and a rugged coastline on the Iranian side.
Makran Coastal Range
Vast, moon-like mountain formations along the southern coast of Iran, visible for much of the mid-flight.
Bin Qasim Port
The industrial heart of Karachi visible as the plane begins its final descent from the north into the city.
Opt for a morning flight if sitting on the left to see the Iranian mountains illuminated by the rising sun. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the Bahraini capital's unique twin-tower architecture.
