Gulf of Oman
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight leaves the Arabian Peninsula.
Makran Coastal Range
Unique geological formations and moon-like landscapes along the Pakistani coast.
Sulaiman Mountains
Jagged, high-altitude peaks and deep valleys in the central part of the country.
Hindu Kush Glimpses
Distant snow-capped peaks visible to the north as the plane begins its descent.
Morning flights are ideal for this side to keep the sun behind the plane, providing excellent lighting for photography of the mountain ranges. Look out specifically for the 'Princess of Hope' rock formation near the Makran coast if the altitude allows. In winter, the snow line on the northern mountains is more pronounced.
