Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic, lunar-like landscapes of the Makran Range and the rugged Iranian coastline, followed by a clear view of the Kuwait City skyline upon approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Makran Coastal Range

Breathtaking views of the folded sedimentary mountains and mud volcanoes in Balochistan.

🏖️

Iranian Coastline

Striking contrasts between the deep blue Persian Gulf and the white, rugged cliffs of southern Iran.

🚢

Strait of Hormuz

One of the world's most strategically important maritime chokepoints with visible container ships.

🏝️

Qishm Island

The largest Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz, featuring unique geological formations.

🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

A stunning panoramic view of the Kuwait Towers and the Liberation Tower as the plane turns for final approach.

The right side is highly recommended for daytime flights. The geological formations over Pakistan and Iran are spectacular under the midday sun. Sit forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Kuwaiti capital during the descent over the bay.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Thar Desert

Expansive golden sand dunes stretching across the border of India and Pakistan.

🌊

Indus River Delta

The complex network of waterways where the Indus River meets the Arabian Sea.

🏙️

UAE Coastline

Distal views of the Dubai and Abu Dhabi skylines and artificial islands if the flight path tracks south.

🛢️

Persian Gulf Oil Fields

Numerous offshore drilling platforms and tankers dotting the turquoise waters.

🏗️

Ahmadi Port

The massive industrial landscape of Kuwait's primary oil export hub during descent.

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is better for spotting the intricate patterns of the Indus Delta and the sprawling infrastructure of Kuwait's southern oil sector during landing.
