Which side of the plane to sit from Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain) to Sialkot Airport (Sialkot)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of Iran's dramatic desert landscapes and provides the most direct perspective of the Himalayan foothills as you descend into Sialkot.
King Fahd Causeway
The massive bridge network connecting Bahrain to Saudi Arabia is often visible shortly after departure.
Dasht-e Lut Desert
Views of the UNESCO-listed 'Lut Desert', featuring massive sand dunes and unique yardang rock formations.
Makran Range
The stark, lunar-like landscape of the mountains in Pakistan's Balochistan province.
Pir Panjal Range
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped Himalayan foothills visible during the descent into Sialkot.
Sialkot Industrial Hub
The bustling urban and manufacturing centers that define this globally significant export city.
For the most dramatic experience, choose a window on this side to see the Himalayas (Pir Panjal) during the final 30 minutes of the flight. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Iranian deserts. In winter, the snow-line on the mountains is much lower, making the final approach exceptionally scenic.
Manama Skyline
Immediate views of Bahrain's capital, featuring the iconic World Trade Center and Financial Harbour towers.
Persian Gulf Coastline
The intricate interface between the turquoise Gulf waters and the rugged Iranian coastline near Bushehr.
Southern Zagros Mountains
Fascinating geological folds and 'salt domes' visible as the flight traverses southern Iran.
Indus River Basin
The transition from the arid Balochistan terrain to the lush, irrigated plains of central Pakistan.
Punjab Heartland
A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and canals typical of the fertile Punjab region.
Watch the coastline during the first 20 minutes for the best views of the Bahraini islands. During mid-flight, keep an eye out for Iranian salt lakes which can appear white or pink depending on the season. This side is better if you want to avoid direct afternoon sun on flights heading east.
