Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the rugged Musandam Peninsula, the vast Thar Desert, and the sprawling river systems of the Ganges, with a rare potential for distant Himalayan views on clear days.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Musandam Peninsula

The dramatic 'Fjords of Arabia' with steep limestone cliffs meeting the turquoise Gulf of Oman.

🏜️

Thar Desert

The rolling red sand dunes and arid landscapes of Rajasthan as you enter Indian airspace.

🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas may be visible to the far north.

💧

Ganges River Basin

The winding, silver ribbons of the holy Ganges river as it snakes through the fertile plains of Uttar Pradesh.

🌾

Bengal Delta

The transition into the lush, emerald-green landscapes and intricate water networks of the Bengal region.

🌿

Brahmaputra Confluence

Witness the massive scale of the Brahmaputra river as it nears its meeting point with the Padma.

Opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the landscapes of Pakistan and India. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Musandam Peninsula and again during the final hour of flight for the dramatic river deltas. During winter months, haze over Northern India can obscure views, so late spring offers the best clarity.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Dubai Skyline

A chance to see the Burj Khalifa and the dense urban sprawl of Dubai immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

Vast expanses of the deep blue sea transitioning into the rugged coastline of Southern Pakistan.

🛶

Indus River Delta

The complex mangrove systems and silty discharge where the Indus River meets the Arabian Sea.

⛰️

Vindhya Ranges

The rolling hills and forested plateaus of central India providing a textured landscape.

🌉

Padma River

The massive width of the Padma River, a major distributary of the Ganges, visible just before the Dhaka approach.

🏢

Dhaka Urban Core

A bird's-eye view of the dense, vibrant architectural tapestry of Dhaka during the descent.

The right side is excellent for catching the Dubai skyline if the wind dictates a southeasterly departure. For evening flights, this side provides beautiful sunset views over the Bay of Bengal and the Indian subcontinent. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be quite intense on this side, making the cabin warm and creating glare on the windows.
