Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the rugged Al Hajar Mountains in Oman and the dramatic fjords of the Musandam Peninsula before descending into Doha.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Western Ghats

Lush, cloud-touched green ridges of the Indian coastline immediately after takeoff from Mangalore.

🏜️

Al Hajar Mountains

The stark, jagged limestone peaks of Oman rising sharply from the desert floor.

🛶

Musandam Peninsula

The 'Norway of the Middle East,' featuring dramatic fjords and turquoise inlets carved into rugged rock.

🚤

Strait of Hormuz

One of the world's most important shipping lanes, often dotted with massive oil tankers.

The right side is superior for daytime flights. The transition from the green Ghats to the stark Omani mountains is visually stunning. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Musandam Peninsula's unique topography.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

Infinite horizons of deep blue water shortly after departing from the Indian coast.

🏝️

The Pearl-Qatar

The intricate man-made islands and luxury developments visible during the final approach to Doha.

🏙️

Doha Corniche

A sweeping view of the crescent-shaped bay and the grassy parks lining the Qatari capital.

🏟️

Lusail Stadium

The golden iconic stadium used for the World Cup final is often visible on the port side during northern arrivals.

Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and to catch the illuminated Doha skyline if the flight path circles the city from the south. This side is generally better for seeing the man-made island structures near the airport.
