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.

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.
