Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an exceptional vantage point for the urban marvels of the UAE, including the Dubai skyline and man-made islands, followed by the striking Hajar Mountains and a scenic approach into Mumbai's coastline.
UAE Coastline
Panoramic views of the skyscrapers in Sharjah and Dubai, including the distinctive needle-like Burj Khalifa.
Palm Jumeirah
The world-famous tree-shaped artificial island is often visible when the flight path hugs the coast.
Hajar Mountains
The dark, rugged peaks of the mountain range that stretches between the UAE and the Sultanate of Oman.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
On the final approach into Mumbai, enjoy a clear view of this iconic cable-stayed bridge and the Arabian Sea.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Mumbai skyscrapers during landing. If the flight departs Dammam in the late afternoon, you may witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea.
Persian Gulf Expanse
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and busy shipping lanes connecting the GCC to the rest of the world.
Qeshm Island
Iran's largest island featuring unique erosive landforms and salt caves visible from high altitude.
Musandam Peninsula
Dramatic limestone fjords and jagged cliffs where the mountains of Oman meet the Strait of Hormuz.
Strait of Hormuz
One of the world's most strategically important chokepoints, often filled with large oil tankers.
Select this side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing clearer visibility of the Iranian coastline and the Omani fjords. It is particularly scenic during the first half of the journey.
