Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Mumbai skyline upon departure and the historic city of Jerusalem during the final approach into Tel Aviv.
Mumbai Metropolis
Incredible views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and Mumbai's dense urban coastline shortly after takeoff.
UAE/Dubai Skyline
On a clear day, distant views of the Burj Khalifa and the Northern Emirates' skyscrapers.
Jordanian Desert
The surreal, Mars-like red landscapes of the Wadi Rum region in southern Jordan.
Jerusalem
Unmatched aerial perspectives of the Old City, Temple Mount, and the Judean Hills on the final approach.
Coastal Plain
The lush agricultural fields and urban sprawl of central Israel just before touchdown.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of this route. During departure from Mumbai, look out for the city's unique geography. As you approach Tel Aviv from the east, the plane typically passes over Jerusalem, providing a rare and spectacular view of the holy city. Ensure a window seat away from the wing for the best photography of the Judean desert.
Arabian Sea
Vast turquoise waters and passing cargo ships as you leave the Indian subcontinent.
Al Hajar Mountains
The dramatic, jagged mountain ranges of Oman providing a stark contrast to the coastline.
Rub' al Khali
Views of the 'Empty Quarter', the world's largest contiguous sand desert with towering red dunes.
Dead Sea Shores
The southern mineral-rich evaporation ponds of the Dead Sea visible during the descent.
Recommended for morning flights to minimize sun glare. Keep an eye out about 3-4 hours into the flight for the transition from the Arabian Sea to the rugged Omani terrain. This side is also excellent for spotting the southern tip of the Dead Sea as the plane begins its descent into the Mediterranean basin.
