Dubai Skyline
Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai and Sharjah shortly after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
The rugged, arid peaks of the mountain range stretching across the UAE and Oman border.
Gulf of Oman
The deep blue transition from the desert landscape into the vast expanse of the northern Arabian Sea.
Western Ghats
Breathtaking views of the UNESCO-protected green mountain ranges as the flight begins its descent over India.
Kerala Hinterlands
Dense coconut groves and the intricate network of rivers and backwaters characteristic of the Malabar region.
For the best view of the Burj Khalifa, choose a seat ahead of the wing. If flying on a morning flight, the left side is ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Kerala landscape. During the monsoon months, this side provides a great view of the clouds rolling over the Ghats.
