Tibetan Plateau
The 'Roof of the World' with its snow-capped peaks and massive glaciers visible to the north.
Karakoram Range
Distant views of some of the world's highest mountains bordering the northern flight path.
Indus River
The silver thread of the Indus winding through the arid landscapes of Pakistan.
Zagros Mountains
Remarkable salt domes and folded rock formations across southern Iran.
Persian Gulf
Turquoise waters contrasted against the deep blues of the ocean as you cross toward Qatar.
This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Ensure a window seat for the first 4 hours of the flight to see the Himalayan and Tibetan ranges. During winter, the snow cover on the Iranian Plateau is particularly photogenic.

The expansive, hazy green plains of Northern India stretching toward the southern horizon.
Thar Desert
The vast golden dunes of the Great Indian Desert near the border of India and Pakistan.
Doha Skyline
