Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Multan International Airport (Multan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers iconic views of the Dubai skyline upon departure, followed by the dramatic Makran coastline and the lush transitions of the Indus River valley before landing.
Dubai Landmarks
Possible views of the Burj Khalifa and the downtown skyline depending on the takeoff runway and bank.
Makran Coastline
The stunning intersection of the Arabian Sea and the white sandy cliffs of the Balochistan coast.
Chandragup Mud Volcanoes
Unique geological mounds located within the Hingol National Park visible from high altitude.
The Indus River
The massive, winding artery of Pakistan carving through the landscape toward the Arabian Sea.
Punjab Heartland
The vibrant green patchwork of agricultural fields and irrigation canals surrounding Multan.
The right side is ideal for the 'City of Gold' departure views. Aim for a window seat behind the wing to capture the Makran Coastal Highway snaking along the shore. During the winter months (December to February), be prepared for morning fog over the Punjab plains which might obscure the landing view, so midday flights are recommended for the best clarity.
Northern Emirates
Aerial perspectives of Sharjah and Ajman urban centers shortly after takeoff from DXB.
Hajar Mountains
Rugged, dark mountain peaks spanning across the border of the UAE and Oman.
Strait of Hormuz
Views toward the strategically vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
Balochistan Plateau
Dramatic, folded rock formations and arid canyon landscapes of southwestern Pakistan.
Sulaiman Range
The imposing mountain barrier that marks the western edge of the Indus River basin.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for seeing the sharp geological contrasts of the Balochistan mountains as you approach the plains of Punjab. Watch for the Musandam Peninsula's jagged coastline shortly after leaving UAE airspace.
