Arabian Sea Expanse
A vast stretch of deep blue waters as you leave the Indian continental shelf behind.
Omani Coastline
Distant views of the jagged peaks and desert cliffs of the Musandam Peninsula.
Qatar Peninsula
On clear days, the northern tip of Qatar is visible as you track toward the Gulf islands.
Hawar Islands
An archipelago of desert islands located between Qatar and Bahrain with unique geological patterns.
Southern Manama
A great perspective of the sprawling urban development and reclaimed land projects in southern Bahrain.
For day flights, sit on the left to avoid the harshest glare of the sun which typically tracks to the south. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the sandy islands and the bright coral reefs in the shallow Gulf waters. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Omani coast.

Mumbai Skyline
A sweeping view of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the dense high-rises of North Mumbai during takeoff.
Makran Coast
Far-off views of the unique mud volcanoes and ridges along the Pakistani and Iranian coastlines.
Strait of Hormuz
Occasional views of the world's busiest oil transit point, marked by heavy tanker traffic.
Offshore Platforms
Numerous oil and gas rigs dotting the northern Persian Gulf, illuminated brightly during night flights.
King Fahd Causeway
The massive bridge connecting Bahrain to Saudi Arabia is often visible during the final descent into BAH.
The right side is excellent for night flights as it often passes closer to the illuminated industrial hubs and offshore rigs of the Gulf. If landing from the north, you might catch a glimpse of the King Fahd Causeway. Be aware that haze over the Gulf can sometimes obscure the distant Iranian mountains to the north.
