BLR → DMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to King Fahd International Airport (Dammam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides superior views of the Western Ghats mountains upon departure, the diverse UAE coastline during transit, and the engineering marvels of the Persian Gulf and King Fahd Causeway on the approach to Dammam.
Western Ghats
Lush, cloud-kissed mountain ranges that are particularly vibrant during the monsoon season.
Konkan Coastline
The scenic transition where the Indian subcontinent meets the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
UAE/Dubai Skyline
Possible distant views of the Burj Khalifa and the UAE's coastal infrastructure depending on the airway.
Persian Gulf Platforms
Extensive oil and gas offshore platforms and busy shipping lanes in the Gulf waters.
King Fahd Causeway
The 25km bridge system linking Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, often visible during the descent into DMM.
The Right Side is preferred for geographic variety. Between June and September, the Western Ghats offer spectacular waterfall views. As you approach the Arabian Peninsula, keep an eye out for the Musandam Peninsula's fjords. On final approach to DMM, the King Fahd Causeway is most frequently visible from this side.
Bangalore Skyline
Bird's eye view of the sprawling electronic city and its bustling urban grid shortly after takeoff.
Deccan Plateau
The ancient, rugged volcanic landscape of Southern India stretching toward the horizon.
Arabian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue, often dotted with international cargo ships and tankers.
Rub' al Khali Fringes
The northern edges of the Empty Quarter, showing dramatic orange sand dunes.
Al-Ahsa Oasis
The world's largest self-contained oasis, appearing as a massive green patch in the desert.
Sit here for the best views of Bangalore city during departure. This side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea, though glare can be intense. Watch for the stark contrast between the desert sands and the Al-Ahsa greenery about 25 minutes before landing.
