Search flights from BLR to AUH
Western Ghats
Lush green ridges and dramatic escarpments of the Sahyadri range visible shortly after departing Bangalore.
Hajar Mountains
The rugged, dark, and jagged peaks that define the border region between Oman and the UAE.
Dubai Skyline
Glimpses of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscraper clusters along Sheikh Zayed Road during the northern approach.
The Palm Jumeirah
The world-famous tree-shaped artificial island and the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf.
Yas Island
The vibrant red roof of Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit just moments before touchdown.
For the best views of the UAE's coastal landmarks, choose a window seat on the right. Note that morning flights provide the best lighting for the Hajar Mountains, while evening flights offer a stunning view of the glittering Dubai and Abu Dhabi city lights. Ensure you are looking out about 30-40 minutes before landing for the coastal transition.

Arabian Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arabian Sea for the majority of the mid-flight segment.
Rub' al Khali Fringes
The rolling orange dunes of the Empty Quarter desert as you cross into the southern Arabian Peninsula.
Jebel Hafeet
The solitary limestone mountain standing guard over the city of Al Ain near the Oman border.
The left side is the preferred choice for sunset views on late afternoon flights, as the sun will set over the horizon to the southwest. During descent, look for the unique patterns of inland desert dunes which are particularly striking during the 'golden hour'.
