Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the best perspective of the dramatic Omani coastline and the Jabal Samhan mountains during the descent into Salalah.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌴

Kozhikode Urban View

Aerial views of Calicut's dense coconut groves and urban layout immediately after takeoff from CCJ.

⛰️

Jabal Samhan

Dramatic views of the limestone cliffs and peaks of the Dhofar mountains as the flight approaches Oman.

🏙️

Salalah Skyline

A clear view of the city, its mosques, and the surrounding green plantations during the final descent.

🏜️

Coastal Desert

Observe the stark contrast between the arid Omani landscape and the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.

The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Omani mountains. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline, as the transition from the sea to the Jabal Samhan range is abrupt and highly photogenic.

Left Side Highlights
6.0
🏖️

Malabar Coastline

Catch a final glimpse of the lush Kerala shores as the plane heads west over the Arabian Sea.

🌊

Arabian Sea

Endless views of the deep blue ocean, perfect for spotting maritime traffic and large vessels far below.

🚢

Port of Salalah

A view of the bustling industrial port and coastal developments as the aircraft nears the runway.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over the water during evening flights. During the Khareef season (July to September), look for the unique phenomenon of sea mist rolling into the southern coast of Oman.
