Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Konarak Airport (Chah Bahar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Hajar Mountains upon departure and the surreal, folded Martian Mountains of Iran's Makran coast during the approach into Chah Bahar.
Dubai Skyline
Catch glimpses of the Burj Khalifa and the dense urban architecture of Dubai and Sharjah shortly after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
Cross the jagged, dark peaks of the Hajar mountain range that divides the UAE and Oman.
Makran Coastline
Witness the dramatic meeting of the turquoise Gulf of Oman and the steep, eroded cliffs of the Iranian coast.
Martian Mountains
View the incredibly unique, miniature-mountain formations near Chah Bahar, famous for their surreal, pleated appearance.
Lipar Pink Lake
Depending on the season and flight path, look for the distinct pink hue of Lipar Lake located just east of the city.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best sunlight exposure on the Iranian cliffs during morning flights. The 'Martian Mountains' are most visible during the final 15 minutes of the flight as the plane descends toward Konarak Airport.
UAE Desert Expanses
See the vast rolling sand dunes of the Al Khatim and southern UAE desert regions during the initial climb.
Gulf of Oman Shipping
Spot major oil tankers and cargo ships traversing one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Chabahar Bay
A wide-angle view of the deep-water bay and the strategic ports of Shahid Beheshti and Shahid Kalantari.
Pasabandar Peninsula
Distant views of the sandy spits and fishing villages that dot the southern tip of the Sistan and Baluchestan province.
On the right side, you will have a panoramic view of the open sea and the harbor entrance. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the flight if traveling midday, so keep your shades ready to avoid glare while searching for ships.
