Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic geographic variety, featuring the rugged Iranian coastline across the Gulf of Oman and the unique white salt deserts of the Rann of Kutch as you enter India.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Dubai Skyline

Breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa and the downtown cluster immediately after takeoff from DXB.

⛰️

Makran Coastal Range

The dramatic, folded geological formations of the Iranian coast visible across the Gulf of Oman.

🧂

Great Rann of Kutch

The world's largest salt desert, appearing as a vast, shimmering white expanse during daylight.

🏜️

Little Rann of Kutch

A unique biosphere and salt marsh area known for its wildlife and distinct seasonal water patterns.

🌾

Gujarat Plains

Lush agricultural patchwork and rural settlements as the flight descends towards Ahmedabad.

Choose this side for daytime flights to witness the spectacular salt flats of the Rann of Kutch. The contrast between the white salt and the surrounding terrain is most striking in the mid-morning sun. If the flight path takes a northern loop, you may also see the distant mountains of Balochistan.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Palm Jumeirah

Excellent views of Dubai's man-made islands and the Burj Al Arab shortly after departure.

🏔️

Al Hajar Mountains

The sharp, rocky peaks of the mountain range spanning the UAE and Oman border.

🚢

Arabian Sea

Deep blue maritime views often dotted with large cargo tankers and international shipping vessels.

🏗️

Jamnagar Industrial Hub

One of the world's largest refinery complexes visible near the southern shore of the Gulf of Kutch.

🌊

Gulf of Kutch Coastline

The winding mangroves and coral reefs of the Marine National Park along the Saurashtra coast.

🏙️

Sabarmati Riverfront

The developed urban riverfront and bridges of Ahmedabad during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the best views of Dubai's coastal engineering marvels upon takeoff. This side is also preferred for sunset flights, as you'll see the sun dip below the Arabian Sea horizon. During winter, the visibility over the Gujarat coastline is typically clearer for spotting industrial landmarks.
