Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Muscat International Airport (Muscat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Indian coastline upon departure and the dramatic Omani coastline and Muscat city during the descent.
Hyderabad Cityscape
Aerial views of the Outer Ring Road and the urban sprawl of Telangana's capital during ascent.
Konkan Coast
The picturesque meeting point of the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Sea, featuring sandy beaches and estuaries.
Gulf of Oman
The transition from open sea to the emerald waters of the Gulf as the plane nears the Arabian Peninsula.
Muscat Coastline
Striking views of the Mutrah Corniche and the rocky shoreline that defines the capital of Oman.
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
The magnificent architectural landmark of Muscat, often visible during the final approach to the runway.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. For the best experience, monitor the flight path; if the aircraft approaches from the north, you will see the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Oman. At night, the golden lights of Muscat's developed coastline are a highlight.
Deccan Plateau
Rugged and rocky landscapes of central India immediately following takeoff from Hyderabad.
Western Ghats
The lush, mist-covered Sahyadri mountain range as the aircraft transitions towards the Arabian Sea.
Arabian Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue waters and passing cargo vessels during the mid-flight cruise.
Al Hajar Mountains
The jagged, arid peaks of Oman's iconic mountain range visible during the initial descent phase.
On afternoon flights, this side will experience significant sun glare. It is best for observing the sheer scale of the Al Hajar mountains as you approach Muscat from the south. Keep a lookout for small Omani villages nestled in the mountain valleys during the final ten minutes of the flight.
