DOH → PEW
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Lut Desert landscapes in Iran and the imposing Suleiman Mountain Range upon entering Pakistan.
Doha Skyline
Aerial views of The Pearl-Qatar and Lusail City immediately after takeoff from DOH.
Persian Gulf
Crystalline turquoise waters and offshore oil platforms as the flight heads northeast.
Dasht-e Lut
The UNESCO-listed Lut Desert in Iran, famous for its massive salt flats and yardang rock formations.
Suleiman Range
Dramatic view of the rugged mountain ridges that form the western edge of the Indus Valley.
Indus River Basin
The fertile green plains and winding channels of the Indus River as you approach Northern Pakistan.
For the best experience, book a daytime flight departing Doha in the morning. The sun will be positioned to the south, perfectly illuminating the desert textures and mountain shadows on the left side. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Lut Desert's unique geology.
Qeshm Island
Views of Iran's largest island and the Hara Mangrove Forests in the Strait of Hormuz.
Makran Coastline
Where the arid mountains of Balochistan meet the deep blue of the Arabian Sea.
Balochistan Plateau
Vast, uninhabited desert expanses with striking geological folds and dry riverbeds.
Punjab Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages typical of the Indus heartland.
Peshawar Approach
Final descent views of the historic walled city and the distant foothills leading to the Khyber Pass.
The right side is ideal for coastal scenery during the first half of the flight. If traveling during the summer, expect significant haze over the plains; winter flights offer much clearer visibility of the Makran coast. Be mindful of direct sunlight glare on the right side during afternoon departures.
