Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

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.
