ISB → BAH
Which side of the plane to sit from New Islamabad International Airport (Islamabad) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the rugged Sulaiman Mountains, the winding Indus River, and a spectacular aerial perspective of the King Fahd Causeway upon arrival in Bahrain.
Sulaiman Mountains
Dramatic, folded rock formations and high-altitude plateaus of the Balochistan region.
Indus River Basin
The massive, meandering Indus River cutting through the fertile plains and arid landscapes.
Makran Coastal Range
Unique lunar-like landscapes and mud volcanoes visible along the rugged southern coastline of Pakistan.
Strait of Hormuz
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often dotted with massive oil tankers and cargo ships.
King Fahd Causeway
The iconic 25km series of bridges and causeways connecting Bahrain and Saudi Arabia during the final descent.
The right side is best for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a clear view of the bridge connecting Bahrain to the mainland.
Rawalpindi Urban Sprawl
A detailed look at the dense urban layout of Rawalpindi and the outskirts of Islamabad immediately after takeoff.
Thar Desert Fringes
Expansive views of the golden desert plains extending toward the Indian border in the south of Pakistan.
Gulf of Oman
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight leaves the Pakistani coast and heads toward the Arabian Peninsula.
UAE Coastline
Distant views of the northern Emirates' coastal developments and the rising skyline of the UAE.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is also excellent for spotting the glimmering lights of coastal cities like Dubai and Sharjah if flying at night.
