Excellent views of the shipping terminals and the bustling maritime activity of Cochin Port upon departure.
Hajar Mountains
Jagged, moon-like limestone peaks of northern Oman that provide a stark contrast to the sea.
UAE Coastline
Distant views of the Dubai or Abu Dhabi skylines depending on the specific air traffic control corridor.
The Pearl-Qatar
The famous man-made island shaped like a string of pearls, visible during the descent into Doha.
Doha West Bay
The iconic cluster of skyscrapers forming Doha's modern skyline as the plane aligns with the runway.
Sit on the right for morning flights to keep the sun on the opposite side of the aircraft, ensuring better lighting for photos of Oman and Qatar. The approach to Doha often circles the city from the north, offering the best views of Lusail and the Pearl-Qatar from this side. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.

Lush green views of the Kochi coastline and inland waterways immediately after takeoff.

A vast blue horizon that covers the majority of the mid-flight duration between India and the Middle East.
Rub' al Khali
The edge of the Empty Quarter, showing massive rolling sand dunes as the plane enters Arabian airspace.
Al Janoub Stadium
A clear view of the Zaha Hadid-designed stadium in Al Wakrah during the southern approach to Hamad International.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During winter months, the atmospheric clarity provides excellent views of the southern Qatari desert dunes. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze affecting photos of the desert landscape.
