Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Hajar Mountains and the rugged terrain of the Musandam Peninsula during the descent, along with a better angle of the Indian coastline after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Karnataka Coastline

Stunning views of the winding river mouths and sandy beaches near Mangalore and North Karnataka.

⛰️

Hajar Mountains

The jagged, arid peaks of the mountain range that straddles the border of Oman and the UAE.

🏝️

Musandam Peninsula

The 'Fjords of Arabia' with their distinct rugged terrain visible to the north during clear weather.

🏢

Sharjah Urban Center

Detailed views of the Khalid Lagoon, Al Noor Mosque, and the dense urban layout of Sharjah city during landing.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the most consistent views of the Hajar Mountains, which are the geographic highlight of this route. Watch for the sharp contrast between the red desert sands and the dark mountain rock as you cross into UAE airspace.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Western Ghats

Lush green ridges and valleys of the Sahyadri range visible shortly after departing Bangalore.

🌊

Arabian Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water, often revealing large shipping vessels on the maritime trade route.

🏙️

Dubai Horizon

On clear approaches from the south, the distant silhouette of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai skyline may appear.

🏖️

UAE Shoreline

The transition from the deep blue sea to the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf coast.

Opt for the left side on evening flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the final approach, keep your eyes on the horizon for a potential glimpse of the iconic Burj Khalifa if the flight path tracks south of the city.
