DWC → AMD
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this eastbound journey as it offers stunning views of the rugged Makran coastline of Iran across the Gulf and the spectacular white salt marshes of the Rann of Kutch during the descent into India.

Hajar Mountains
The jagged limestone peaks of the UAE and Oman border provide a dramatic backdrop shortly after takeoff.
Iranian Coastline
Clear views across the Gulf of Oman toward the Makran coast, featuring unique geological formations and cliffs.
Great Rann of Kutch
A massive, shimmering white salt desert that is one of the most unique geographic features in South Asia.
GIFT City
The emerging skyline of Gujarat International Finance Tec-City is visible as you approach the Ahmedabad outskirts.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it ideal for photography without lens flare. The most iconic view is the 'White Desert' of Kutch, which is best seen during the dry winter months (November to February) when the salt crust is most reflective. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the ground during the descent.

The central river of Ahmedabad, visible as the plane makes its final turns for landing at AMD airport.
The right side is excellent for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Keep an eye out for the vast industrial clusters of Jamnagar as you cross the Indian coastline; the scale of the refineries is breathtaking. If landing from the south, the right side provides a great view of the Sabarmati Riverfront development in the heart of the city.
