ISBKWI

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the rugged Iranian plateau and the spectacular folded ridges of the Zagros Mountains, followed by a direct view of the Kuwait City skyline on approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Suleiman Range

The arid, craggy mountain peaks forming the natural boundary between the Indus valley and the Iranian plateau.

⛰️

Zagros Mountains

Stunning geological 'folds' in the earth's crust, creating endless parallel ridges across southwestern Iran.

🏜️

Iranian Plateau

A high-altitude desert landscape with unique mineral colors ranging from deep red to pale ochre.

🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

The iconic Kuwait Towers and the dense cluster of modern skyscrapers along the Arabian Gulf Street during the final approach.

🇰🇼

Failaka Island

A historic island with archaeological sites visible in the Persian Gulf just before the aircraft turns for landing.

The right side is the scenic winner for its mountain views. For the best experience, choose a seat away from the wing to see the intricate geological patterns of Iran. On approach to KWI, this side usually offers the iconic view of the Kuwait Towers if the plane approaches from the Gulf.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Indus River Basin

The massive, winding waterways of the Indus River as they cut through the fertile plains of Punjab and Sindh.

🏖️

Makran Coastline

Where the stark white desert cliffs of Balochistan meet the deep turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.

🏝️

Bubiyan Island

Kuwait's largest island, visible during descent, featuring a network of salt marshes and tidal channels.

🏗️

Port of Jebel Ali

On clear southern tracks, the massive industrial complexes and ships of the Gulf region are visible in the distance.

Sit on the left for morning departures to see the sun glinting off the Indus River. However, for afternoon flights, this side faces south and may suffer from intense glare and heat from the sun over the Arabian Sea.
