Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the rugged Iranian coastline, the stark mountain ranges of Balochistan, and the dramatic Sulaiman Mountains before descending towards the Himalayan foothills.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Persian Gulf Crossing

Aerial views of the turquoise waters and oil infrastructure of the Gulf shortly after takeoff from Dammam.

⛰️

Iranian Coast & Zagros

Distant views of the jagged peaks of the Zagros Mountains and the stark, folded landscapes of the Iranian coastline.

🏜️

Makran Coastal Range

The unique, moon-like geological formations and lunar landscapes of the Balochistan province in Pakistan.

🏔️

Sulaiman Range

Dramatic mountain ridges that separate the Iranian plateau from the Indus River valley.

❄️

Himalayan Vistas

On clear days during the descent into Sialkot, the snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal range and the Himalayas are visible to the north.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left side (Seat A) on a daytime flight. The afternoon sun will be behind you or to the right, illuminating the Balochistan mountains and the distant Himalayas perfectly. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Indus River into the Punjab plains.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Dammam & Al Khobar

A panoramic view of the Eastern Province's urban sprawl and the King Fahd Causeway shortly after departure.

🏝️

Musandam Peninsula

Stunning views of the 'Fjords of Arabia' and the Strait of Hormuz if the flight path tracks slightly south.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

A vast expanse of deep blue water transitioning into the Arabian Sea coastline.

🌾

Indus River Basin

The sprawling, fertile green patchwork of the Punjab plains, contrasted against the arid regions further west.

🏘️

Faisalabad & Gujranwala

Distant views of major industrial hubs in Pakistan's heartland as the aircraft prepares for its final approach.

The right side (Seat K/L) is excellent for observing the transition from the arid Middle East to the lush agriculture of the Punjab. On night flights, this side often provides a better view of the brightly lit urban centers of the UAE and later, the dense city lights of central Pakistan.
