HYD → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a dramatic view of the Western Ghats and Mumbai before crossing the sea, followed by a spectacular aerial perspective of The Pearl-Qatar and Doha's modern skyline upon arrival.
Western Ghats
View the dramatic escarpments and lush green peaks of this mountain range as the flight exits the Indian subcontinent.
Mumbai Metropolis
A clear view of the dense urban sprawl and the iconic coastline of India's financial capital.
The Pearl-Qatar
The world-famous man-made island, recognizable by its intricate circular boardwalks and luxury marinas.
Lusail City
A view of Qatar's newest sustainable city, featuring futuristic architecture and the Lusail Iconic Stadium.
West Bay Skyline
Doha's central business district, featuring a dense cluster of uniquely shaped skyscrapers and LED-lit towers.
To ensure the best views of the Doha landmarks, request a seat away from the wing (rows 1-10 or 25+ on typical narrow-body aircraft). On night flights, the right side is significantly more scenic due to the intense lighting of the Mumbai and Doha urban corridors.
Golconda Fort
Look down shortly after takeoff to see the sprawling ruins of this historic 13th-century granite fortress.
Arabian Sea Expanse
Enjoy the deep azure hues of the open ocean, often dotted with international cargo ships and oil tankers.
Mesaieed Dunes
On southern approach paths, witness the unique terrain where the Qatari desert sands meet the emerald waters of the gulf.
This side is ideal for late afternoon flights as it offers a front-row seat to the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the winter months, look for the unique contrast of the 'Inland Sea' (Khor Al Adaid) if the flight path takes a southerly route into Hamad International.
