DOHATQ

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of the rugged Makran coastal mountains of Pakistan and potential distant glimpses of the northern mountain ranges as the flight turns toward the Indian subcontinent.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Doha Skyline

Panoramic views of West Bay, The Pearl-Qatar, and the Lusail development immediately after takeoff from DOH.

🏝️

Iranian Coastline

Distant views of the rugged cliffs and islands of southern Iran across the narrowest parts of the Persian Gulf.

🏔️

Makran Coastal Range

Striking geological formations and mud volcanoes along the barren, moon-like coastline of Balochistan, Pakistan.

🌊

Indus River Delta

The complex network of creeks and mangroves where one of Asia's longest rivers meets the Arabian Sea.

🧱

The Salt Range

Reddish-brown hills and unique geological folds as the aircraft traverses central Pakistan towards the Punjab plains.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Night flights offer a spectacular view of the well-lit city of Karachi to the south, while morning flights provide the best shadows over the Balochistan mountains. As you approach ATQ, look for the Golden Temple's glow if landing after dusk.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏗️

UAE Coastline

On clear days, see the distant urban sprawl of Dubai and the unique shapes of the Palm Islands and World Islands.

🌃

Karachi Metropolis

The massive urban footprint of Pakistan's largest city, especially vibrant during night-time transits.

🏜️

Thar Desert Edges

The transition from the fertile Indus valley to the golden sand dunes of the Great Indian Desert.

🌾

Punjab Plains

A patchwork quilt of green and gold agricultural fields that define the 'Breadbasket of India' near the border.

💧

Sutlej River

The winding path of the Sutlej River which acts as a natural boundary in several sections of the flight path.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise if you are on an early morning flight. During monsoon season (July-September), this side often provides dramatic views of towering cumulus clouds over the desert. Note that smog can occasionally obscure the ground during winter months in the Punjab region.
