Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Jinnah International Airport (Karachi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of urban skylines and natural wonders, including potential views of the UAE coast and a spectacular final approach over the Indus Delta and Karachi harbor.
UAE Coastline
Depending on the air corridor, distant views of Abu Dhabi and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Hajar Mountains
The dark, craggy mountains that define the Musandam Peninsula and northern Oman.
Arabian Sea Traffic
Spotting large tankers and cargo ships moving through the international shipping lanes.
Indus River Delta
The intricate, green network of mangroves where the Indus River meets the sea.
Karachi Harbor
Views of Manora Island, the port area, and the dense urban sprawl of South Karachi.
Clifton Beach
The iconic long sandy beach of Karachi visible during the final descent phase.
The right side is ideal for night flights to see the illuminated skylines of the UAE and Karachi. On daytime flights, sit here to see the contrasting colors of the Indus Delta's green mangroves against the deep blue sea.
Dammam Port
Aerial view of the massive King Fahd Industrial Port shortly after takeoff.
Zagros Range
The high, snow-capped peaks of southern Iran are visible across the Persian Gulf waters.
Strait of Hormuz
The strategic maritime choke point where the Gulf meets the Arabian Sea.
Makran Coastal Cliffs
The dramatic and desolate clay and rock formations of the Balochistan coastline.
Mud Volcanoes
Unique geological features like the Chandragup mud volcanoes near the Hingol River.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Iranian mountains. It provides the best perspective on the rugged, moon-like geology of the Pakistani coastline during the second half of the trip.
