DMM → HYD
Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred as it offers a superior view of the Saudi Arabian coastline during takeoff and a spectacular entry into the Indian subcontinent over the lush Konkan coast and Western Ghats.
Al Khobar Coast
Panoramic views of the Dammam and Al Khobar metropolitan area and the industrial scale of King Fahd Port.
Batinah Coastline
The long, narrow fertile plain of Oman sandwiched between the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Sea.
Konkan Coastline
The stunning meeting point of the Arabian Sea and the Indian mainland, featuring pristine beaches and estuaries.
Western Ghats
A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of misty, forest-covered mountain ranges visible during the descent.
Krishna River Basin
The winding path of one of India's longest rivers as it carves through the landscape towards the Bay of Bengal.
Choose an afternoon flight to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the monsoon season (June-September), the Western Ghats on the Indian side are incredibly vibrant and green. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Indian coastline near the Goa/Karnataka border for the best geographic contrast between sea and mountain.
Persian Gulf
Sparkling turquoise waters and numerous offshore oil platforms visible shortly after departure from Dammam.
Musandam Peninsula
The dramatic 'Fjords of Arabia' featuring jagged limestone mountains jutting into the sea at the tip of Oman.
Gulf of Oman
A high-traffic maritime corridor where large tankers and cargo ships are frequently visible from cruising altitude.
Northern Western Ghats
The rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Sahyadri range as the flight crosses into the Indian mainland.
Deccan Plateau
A mosaic of green and brown agricultural patches across the high plateau of central India.
The Musandam Peninsula is the star attraction on this side; it appears roughly 50-70 minutes into the flight. If traveling during the day, look for the distinct color change in the water near the Straits of Hormuz. For night flights, this side offers views of the brightly lit coastal cities of the UAE.
