GOI β†’ KWI

Which side of the plane to sit from Dabolim Airport (Goa) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the rugged, dramatic coastline of Iran, the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and unique island formations that are significantly more scenic than the open sea visible from the left.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Makran Coastline

Stunning views of the rugged, eroded sedimentary mountains along the Iranian coast.

πŸŒ€

Strait of Hormuz

View the narrow maritime chokepoint where the Gulf of Oman meets the Persian Gulf.

🏝️

Qeshm Island

A massive, dolphin-shaped island featuring unique geological formations and mangroves.

πŸ”οΈ

Zagros Foothills

The arid, folded mountain ranges of Southern Iran stretching toward the horizon.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Bubiyan Island

Kuwait's largest island, showcasing a desolate but fascinating delta landscape.

The right side is best for daytime flights. Request a window seat here to see the contrasting colors of the turquoise Gulf water against the sun-scorched Iranian peaks. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Strait of Hormuz for the highest density of geographic landmarks.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

Infinite blue waters visible shortly after departing the Indian coast.

πŸ™οΈ

Emirati Coastline

Distant silhouettes of the UAE's modern architecture if the flight path skews south.

πŸ›’οΈ

Gulf Oil Platforms

Dotted infrastructure and tankers traversing the southern Persian Gulf.

🏒

Kuwait City Skyline

Close-up views of the Kuwait Towers and Al Hamra Tower during the final descent.

Select the left side for evening or night flights to witness the glittering lights of the UAE coast and a spectacular illuminated approach into Kuwait City. This side is also better for avoiding direct sun glare during westbound morning departures from Goa.
