Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic geological formations of Balochistan and the stunning Musandam Peninsula during the approach into Sharjah.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Suleiman Mountains

The rugged and arid peaks of the Suleiman Range provide a dramatic backdrop immediately after departure.

🏜️

Makran Range

The moon-like, desolate landscapes of Balochistan with deep canyons and unique rock formations.

🏖️

Makran Coastline

The stunning point where the desert cliffs meet the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.

⛰️

Musandam Peninsula

The incredible 'Fjords of Arabia' with jagged limestone mountains plunging into the sea.

🏗️

Sharjah/Dubai Skyline

On clear days, you can spot the towering skyscrapers of Dubai in the distance as you land in Sharjah.

For the best experience, book a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Musandam Peninsula. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Balochistan mountains without the harsh afternoon glare or heat haze.

🌊

Indus River Basin

Witness the intricate network of canals and fertile plains surrounding the Indus River shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Punjab Farmlands

A patchwork quilt of green agricultural fields that define the central Pakistan landscape.

🚢

Gulf of Oman

A vast blue expanse of water dotted with cargo ships heading toward the Strait of Hormuz.

🏙️

Sharjah Waterfront

Views of the Al Khan area and the lagoons as the plane banks for its final approach.

The left side is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning departures. It also provides a better view of the UAE's coastal infrastructure and the lights of the northern emirates during night flights.
