Incredible patterns of longitudinal dunes stretching endlessly toward the horizon.
Jabal Qara
The rugged limestone peaks that form the dramatic northern backdrop of the Salalah plain.
Thumrait Plateau
The high altitude desert plains that eventually drop into the lush Dhofar valleys.

The right side is ideal for passengers interested in the geography of the deep desert. During the monsoon (Khareef), look for the unique phenomenon of clouds and mist rolling over the inland mountain ridges. Be aware that late afternoon flights may suffer from significant sun glare on this side.
