Persian Gulf
Emerald waters and offshore rigs visible immediately after departing the Saudi coast.
Makran Coastline
Incredible 'moon-scape' rock formations and mud volcanoes along the southern coast of Iran.
Indus River Delta
The intricate, branching waterways where the Indus River meets the Arabian Sea.
Rann of Kutch
A massive, surreal white salt desert that creates a striking contrast against the surrounding landscape.
Delhi NCR Sprawl
The vast, dense urban landscape of the National Capital Region during the final descent.
For day flights, the left side is ideal as the sun remains on the right (south), preventing glare and allowing for clearer photography of the Iranian coast. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Kutch salt flats. During winter, look for morning mist over the Indian plains.

King Fahd Port
Massive scale industrial infrastructure and tankers at one of the world's largest ports.
Arabian Sea
Deep blue maritime vistas often dotted with international cargo ships on global trade routes.
Thar Desert
The golden sands and undulating dunes of the Great Indian Desert in Rajasthan.
Jodhpur Landscapes
Views of the arid terrain surrounding the historic Blue City and its mountain forts.
Aravalli Range

The right side is perfect for capturing sunset colors over the Arabian Sea and the Thar Desert. However, be prepared for intense direct sunlight and heat on this side during midday flights. Keep your window shade partially closed until over the Indian coastline to manage cabin temperature.
