Bandra-Worli Sea Link
An iconic aerial view of Mumbai's most famous bridge and the western suburb skyline immediately after takeoff.
Hadramaut Cliffs
The dramatic sight of the Yemeni desert plateaus meeting the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Aden.
Mount Shamsan
The imposing volcanic massif that dominates the Aden peninsula as the aircraft descends.
Aden Port
A bird's-eye view of the historic natural harbor and the strategic Steamer Point district.
The right side is essential for the arrival phase. Aim for a window seat on a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the stark contrast between the red desert mountains and the blue sea. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Yemeni shoreline near Al Mukalla.

Arabian Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue waters during the majority of the three-hour crossing.
Maritime Traffic
Spotting large tankers and container ships navigating the busy shipping lanes towards the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
South Mumbai Coast
Brief views of the Colaba peninsula and the Marine Drive 'Queen's Necklace' if departing southward.
The left side is primarily oceanic. It is best during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct sun coming from the south/west. On clear days, you may catch a distant silhouette of the Horn of Africa if the flight path tracks further south.
