DELBAH

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic geological formations of the Makran Coast and the rugged mountains of Iran across the Persian Gulf.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Karachi Coastline

The sprawling urban expanse of Pakistan's largest city meeting the Arabian Sea.

⛰️

Makran Coastal Range

Stunning lunar-like white clay cliffs and mud volcanoes along the coast of Balochistan.

🚢

Strait of Hormuz

A bird's-eye view of one of the world's most strategic and busy shipping chokepoints.

🏔️

Zagros Mountains

The jagged, snow-capped or arid peaks of the southern Iranian ranges visible across the water.

🇧🇭

Bahrain Archipelago

A complete view of the main island and the Amwaj Islands during the final descent into BAH.

The Makran Coast is the star of this route; choose a morning flight for the best lighting on these cliffs. On approach to Bahrain, the right side usually provides a spectacular view of the Muharraq area and the financial district's unique architecture. Ensure a window seat away from the wing to see the coastline clearly.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏜️

Thar Desert

Vast stretches of golden sand dunes and arid landscapes as you cross Rajasthan.

🏢

UAE Skyline

Distant views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline if the flight path tracks south of the Gulf.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

Deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea transitioning into the turquoise shallows of the Gulf.

🏗️

Offshore Rigs

Numerous oil and gas platforms dotting the Persian Gulf near the Bahraini coastline.

Sit on the left if you want to catch a glimpse of the glittering UAE coastline at night. For daytime flights, look out for the transition from the arid Indian plains to the deep blue Arabian Sea. Seats behind the wing are preferred to avoid engine glare.
