The dense urban landscape and iconic Marine Drive curve of India's largest city.

For the best experience, choose a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The transition from the Indian subcontinent to the Arabian Gulf is best viewed in the morning. Keep your camera ready as the plane enters the Strait of Hormuz for the most dramatic geographic features. On landing at DOH, the right side usually provides the most direct view of The Pearl and West Bay districts.

The left side is ideal for catching the sunset over the water during late afternoon departures from Jakarta. It offers a more serene, ocean-centric view. If the flight arrives in Doha at night, look for the brilliant artificial lighting of the offshore oil platforms in the Persian Gulf.
