Doha Skyline
Panoramic views of West Bay and The Pearl-Qatar immediately after takeoff from Hamad International.
Zagros Mountains
The rugged, snow-capped ridges of Southern Iran provide a stark and beautiful contrast to the desert.
The Himalayas
On clear days, the distant northern horizon reveals the massive peaks of the Himalayan range while crossing South Asia.
Yunnan Highlands
Deep river valleys and high-altitude plateaus as the flight enters Chinese airspace.
Guilin Karst Mountains
Iconic limestone formations and rounded peaks visible as the flight begins its approach into Guangdong province.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This route often flies overnight; if departing Doha in the early morning, the left side will be shaded, providing better visibility of the Iranian plateau without sun glare.

Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
The intricate network of thousands of river branches emptying into the Bay of Bengal over Bangladesh.
Irrawaddy River
The winding silver ribbon of Myanmar's most important commercial waterway visible from high altitude.
Pearl River Delta

The right side is excellent for observing the vast river systems of South and Southeast Asia. Be aware that afternoon flights heading east will face the sun on this side, potentially making it very bright and hot; keep the window shade partially down if flying during peak daylight hours.
