Our Recommendation

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Hajar Mountain range during the descent into Muscat, alongside the rugged coastline of the Gulf of Oman.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Western Ghats

The lush green mountain ranges along the western coast of India as the flight transitions to the Arabian Sea.

🌃

Mumbai Skyline

Depending on the specific corridor, you may see the dense urban lights of Mumbai if flying at night.

🏜️

Al Hajar Mountains

The spectacular, jagged brown peaks of northern Oman that provide a dramatic backdrop for the landing at MCT.

🛳️

Gulf of Oman

Deep blue waters contrasting with the rocky Omani coastline as the aircraft turns toward the airport.

The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Muscat. Ensure your window is clean for the descent over the Hajar Mountains, which are particularly stunning in the golden hour light of late afternoon.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Andaman Sea Islands

Bird's eye view of the tropical archipelagos off the coast of Myanmar and Thailand shortly after departure.

🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

Vast stretches of deep blue water, often punctuated by large cargo vessels on major shipping lanes.

🕌

Muscat City Outskirts

Clear views of the sprawling white architecture of Muscat and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque during the final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As you approach Muscat, look for the contrast between the turquoise sea and the white-washed city buildings.
