Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to King Fahd International Airport (Dammam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Ganges river system, the unique salt marshes of Gujarat, and the iconic coastal development of the Persian Gulf during the approach to Dammam.
Himalayan Horizon
On exceptionally clear winter days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas may be visible to the far north.
Rann of Kutch
The mesmerizing white salt crust of the Great Rann of Kutch appearing like a snowy desert in Gujarat.
UAE Skyline
Distant but distinct views of the Burj Khalifa and the high-rise clusters of Dubai and Sharjah across the Gulf.
Gulf Islands
A view of the artificial and natural islands dotting the Persian Gulf near the Qatari and Emirati coasts.
Eastern Province Infrastructure
Intricate networks of oil refineries, pipelines, and the glowing industrial lights of the Dhahran-Dammam corridor.
The right side is ideal for night flights as it offers the best views of the brightly lit coastal cities of the Middle East. During the day, watch for the striking transition from the brown terrain of India to the white salt flats of the western coast.
Ganges Delta
Aerial views of the sprawling Sundarbans and the intricate river networks of the Bay of Bengal coastline.
Nagpur & Central India
Clear views of the Deccan Plateau's topography and major inland Indian urban centers.
Arabian Sea
A massive expanse of deep blue water with visible shipping lanes for international cargo vessels.
Al Hajar Mountains
The rugged, dark limestone peaks of northern Oman contrasting with the turquoise coastal waters.
Rub' al Khali Edge
The northern fringes of the 'Empty Quarter', showing rolling orange sand dunes near the Saudi border.
Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing optimal lighting for photography over the Indian subcontinent. It is also excellent for watching the sunset over the Arabian Sea on afternoon departures.
