Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Shah Amanat International Airport (Chittagong)?

Dubai Skyline
Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai shortly after takeoff from DXB.
Makran Coastal Range
Spectacular, moon-like rock formations and rugged ridges along the southern coast of Balochistan, Pakistan.
Rann of Kutch
The vast, shimmering white salt marshes on the India-Pakistan border, particularly striking during the dry season.
Sundarbans Mangroves
The world's largest mangrove forest, appearing as a complex maze of green islands and tidal waterways.
Chittagong Hill Tracts
Lush, rolling green hills that define the landscape as you approach the southeastern tip of Bangladesh.
For day flights, the left side provides better lighting for photography as the sun remains to the south. Look out for the Makran coast about 60-90 minutes into the flight. During the monsoon (June-September), expect heavy cloud cover over India, making the initial and final stages of the flight the most scenic.

The World Islands
The artificial archipelago shaped like a world map, visible if the flight departs towards the west.
Arabian Sea
Vast oceanic vistas with clear turquoise waters near the coast, transitioning to deep indigo.
Chittagong Port
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest maritime hubs, filled with hundreds of cargo ships.
Karnaphuli River
The winding, silty river that serves as the lifeblood of Chittagong's industry and transport.
Patenga Beach
The popular sandy coastline where the river meets the Bay of Bengal, visible during the final descent.
Choose the right side for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. This side is particularly interesting during the final 15 minutes of the flight for spotting the massive scale of ship-breaking yards and the bustling port activity around Chittagong.
