Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Mumbai coastline during takeoff and the iconic Pearl-Qatar and Doha skyline during the standard approach into Hamad International Airport.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Mumbai Peninsula

Aerial views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the dense urban landscape of South Mumbai upon departure.

🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

A vast blue horizon that occasionally features cargo ships and oil tankers traversing international waters.

🏔️

Musandam Peninsula

The rugged, fjord-like cliffs of Oman's Musandam region visible as you enter the Strait of Hormuz.

🏝️

The Pearl-Qatar

The world-famous man-made island complex featuring luxury yachts and Mediterranean-style architecture.

🏢

Doha West Bay

Clear views of the futuristic skyscrapers and the Corniche as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Qatari coast. During the monsoon season (June-Sept), expect cloud cover over Mumbai, but clear skies usually prevail once over the Arabian Sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Sanjay Gandhi National Park

A rare glimpse of the lush green lungs of Mumbai and the Vihar and Tulsi lakes if departing north.

⛰️

Zagros Mountains

Distant views of the snow-capped or arid peaks along the southern coast of Iran across the Gulf.

🏗️

Persian Gulf Oil Rigs

Dotted infrastructure of the North Field, one of the world's largest natural gas fields.

🏟️

Lusail Stadium

The iconic 'golden bowl' stadium that hosted the 2022 World Cup Final is often visible on the northern approach.

🌇

Lusail Cityscape

The rapidly developing skyline of Qatar's newest sustainable city, including the Katara Towers.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch a stunning desert sunset over the Persian Gulf. It also provides better views of the Iranian coastline on a clear day. If the flight approaches Doha from the north, this side offers the best view of the expanding Lusail district and its unique architectural landmarks.
