Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Lar Airport (Lar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Doha skyline immediately after takeoff and a spectacular perspective of the folded salt domes and jagged terrain of the Fars province upon approach into Lar.
Doha West Bay
A panoramic view of Qatar's iconic cluster of futuristic skyscrapers and the Corniche.
Museum of Islamic Art
The geometric masterpiece designed by I.M. Pei is often visible during the initial climb.
Kish Island
A distant glimpse of Iran's popular resort island characterized by its oval shape in the gulf.
Salt Domes
Unique geological Kuh-e-Namak formations visible as dark, glacier-like flows on the mountains.
Zagros Mountains
Intense, folded mountain ridges that create a dramatic lunar landscape just before landing at Lar.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of Doha's skyline. For photography, late afternoon flights are best as the low sun accentuates the textures of the Iranian salt domes and the Zagros mountain folds. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the best geological views.
The Pearl-Qatar
Exquisite views of the man-made archipelago and its distinct Mediterranean-style yacht marinas.
Lusail Stadium
The golden bowl-shaped stadium visible as the flight tracks north along the Qatari coastline.
Persian Gulf
Deep turquoise waters dotted with offshore oil platforms and traditional dhows near the coast.
Bastak Highlands
The first sight of the arid, sun-scorched plateaus of southern Iran during the descent.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the intense sun glare over the Persian Gulf. It offers a cleaner view of the northern developments in Qatar like Lusail and the Pearl. Watch for the sharp contrast between the blue sea and the sudden rise of the Iranian coastal hills.
