A stunning aerial perspective of India's financial capital and its dense coastal architecture.
Musandam Peninsula
The dramatic 'Fjords of Arabia' featuring sharp limestone cliffs and winding sea inlets.
Dubai and Sharjah
The world-famous skyline including the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Jumeirah during clear conditions.
Persian Gulf Islands
Numerous natural and man-made islands dotting the turquoise waters of the Gulf.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Industrial complexes and flares visible in the Gulf, especially striking during night flights.
The right side is highly recommended for daytime flights. Ensure you have your camera ready approximately 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight to catch the Musandam Peninsula and UAE coastline. For night flights, this side is spectacular for viewing the intense city lights of the Gulf hubs and the glowing offshore oil platforms.

Western Ghats
Lush green mountain ranges and mist-covered valleys as the flight exits the Indian subcontinent.
Central Arabian Sea
A vast, deep blue expanse of ocean that dominates the mid-section of the flight path.
Empty Quarter Edges
Glimpses of the massive Rub' al Khali sand dunes stretching toward the southern horizon.
Omani Coast
Distances views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters near the Omani border.
Al Khobar Vista
Views of the coastal sprawl and the King Fahd Causeway as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while heading west. It offers a more serene view of the open ocean and the dramatic vastness of the Arabian desert during the final descent. If flying during sunset, this side provides a front-row seat to the horizon's color shift.
