Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the lush Malabar Coast to the architectural marvels of the United Arab Emirates and the jagged peaks of the Musandam Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Malabar Coastline

A beautiful view of the Kerala shoreline and coconut groves immediately following takeoff from Calicut.

⛰️

Musandam Fjords

The rugged, 'Norway of the Middle East' coastline with limestone cliffs plunging into the sea.

🏙️

Dubai Skyline

A spectacular view of the Burj Khalifa and the high-rise clusters of Sharjah and Dubai in the distance.

🌴

Palm Jumeirah

On clear days, the distinct tree-shape of the Palm Jumeirah and the World Islands are visible from high altitude.

⛴️

Strait of Hormuz

One of the world's most important shipping lanes, often dotted with massive cargo ships and tankers.

The right side is the clear winner for sightseeing. For the best views of the UAE coastline, choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing. If flying at night, this side provides a stunning display of the lights from the coastal cities of the Gulf. During morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Omani mountains.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arabian Sea for the majority of the mid-flight cruise.

🏜️

Rub' al Khali Edges

Distant views of the vast golden sands of the Empty Quarter as you approach the Arabian Peninsula.

🏙️

Al Khobar Skyline

The dense urban development of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province visible during the final descent.

🌉

King Fahd Causeway

The massive 25-kilometer bridge system connecting Bahrain to mainland Saudi Arabia.

🇧🇭

Bahrain Bay

A southern perspective of the Manama skyline and the iconic Bahrain World Trade Center towers.

The left side is preferable for evening flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. While the flight is mostly over water, the final approach offers a great look at the King Fahd Causeway; look out for the artificial island in the middle of the bridge which marks the border between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
