Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic desert-meets-sea landscapes of the Makran Coast and provides a more frequent panoramic view of the Dubai skyline during the landing sequence.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌳

Sunderbans Mangroves

The world's largest mangrove forest appears as a dense emerald canopy shortly after takeoff from Chittagong.

🏜️

Makran Coastline

Striking views of rugged, pale cliffs and turquoise waters along the southern coast of Pakistan and Iran.

🚢

Strait of Hormuz

A vital maritime corridor filled with tankers, visible as the aircraft enters the Persian Gulf region.

⛰️

Hajar Mountains

The jagged, dark rocky ridges of the Hajar range provide a stark contrast to the surrounding desert.

🏙️

Dubai Landmarks

A high probability of seeing the Burj Khalifa and the downtown skyline during the standard north-to-south approach into DXB.

The right side is highly recommended for late morning and afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is consistently better for aerial photography of the dramatic Iranian coastline and offers the most iconic views of the Dubai skyline as the plane maneuvers for landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Ganges Delta

View the intricate network of river channels where the Ganges and Brahmaputra meet the Bay of Bengal.

🌾

Indian Heartland

A vast tapestry of agricultural fields and rural landscapes across central and western India.

🌅

Sunset Horizon

Catch spectacular golden hour views over the open waters of the Arabian Sea on afternoon departures.

🏗️

Port Rashid

The massive shipping infrastructure and industrial docks of Dubai's historic port area visible during descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights if you want to witness the sun setting over the Arabian Sea. During the winter months, keep an eye out for the shifting sand dunes of the UAE's interior as the flight path aligns for approach into Dubai.
