Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Sialkot Airport (Sialkot)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of Dubai's skyscrapers upon takeoff and the majestic, snow-capped Himalayan foothills during the final approach into Sialkot.
Burj Khalifa & Downtown
Get a bird's-eye view of the world's tallest building and the dense skyscraper cluster of Dubai's financial district.
The World Islands
See the man-made archipelago designed to look like a map of the world sitting in the turquoise Gulf waters.
Jhelum & Chenab Rivers
Watch the intricate canal systems and wide riverbeds that sustain the agricultural heartland of Punjab.
Punjab Farmlands
Witness the vibrant green patchwork of wheat and rice fields that characterize the fertile Sialkot region.
Himalayan Vista
On clear days, enjoy breathtaking views of the snow-peaked Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas to the north-east.
This is the best side for mountain enthusiasts. As the plane approaches Sialkot, the view toward the North-East often reveals the Himalayas. For the best photography of the Punjab plains and the mountains, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, illuminating the landscape perfectly.
Sharjah & Ajman Coast
View the continuous urban sprawl and sandy beaches of the northern UAE emirates shortly after departure.
Strait of Hormuz
Spot the Musandam Peninsula and the high-traffic shipping lanes connecting the Persian Gulf to the open sea.
Makran Coastal Range
Observe the rugged, moon-like geological formations and desert ridges of southern Balochistan.
Indus River
See the massive, winding silver ribbon of the Indus as it flows through the heart of Pakistan.
The Salt Range
Observe the ancient, reddish-brown hills of the Salt Range during the descent towards the Punjab plains.
Sit on the left if you prefer viewing the rugged Iranian coastline and the vast desert landscapes of Balochistan. To avoid harsh sunlight and glare from the south, this side is preferable during morning flights. Keep a lookout for the Chagai Hills area, known for its unique volcanic terrain.
