Indus River Delta
Aerial views of the massive network of distributaries where the Indus River flows into the Arabian Sea.
Makran Coastline
Dramatic views of the unique geological formations where the desert mountains meet the turquoise Arabian Sea.
Musandam Peninsula
The 'Norway of Arabia' features sharp, craggy mountain peaks and deep fjords as you enter the Persian Gulf.
Doha Skyline
Depending on the wind-dependent approach, the left side often faces the iconic West Bay skyscrapers and The Pearl.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is superior for coastal viewing, especially during the final hour of flight. Look out for the 'Hammerhead' shape of Gwadar along the Pakistani coast mid-flight.

The right side is best for sunset views on evening flights. It offers better views of the vast emptiness of the Persian Gulf and the industrial heart of Qatar’s energy sector during the approach to Hamad International.
