Ganges River
The majestic flow of the Ganges as it snakes through the plains of West Bengal and Bihar.
Rann of Kutch
The unique, white-crusted salt marshes near the border of India and Pakistan.
Gulf of Oman
Visualizing the heavy maritime traffic approaching the Strait of Hormuz.
Burj Khalifa
The unmistakable silhouette of the world's tallest building piercing through the clouds.
The World Islands
The artificial archipelago visible as the plane banks for its final approach into DXB.
The right side is essential for seeing the Dubai skyline. Most DXB approaches from the east involve a flight path that puts the Burj Khalifa and downtown area on the right. For daytime flights, use a polarizer filter to cut through the haze over the Indian subcontinent. Try to sit well ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal landmarks during the descent.
