Which side of the plane to sit from Jaipur International Airport (Jaipur) to Muscat International Airport (Muscat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic geological transitions from the golden Thar Desert to the rugged, moon-like rock formations of the Makran coastline in Pakistan.
Thar Desert
Sweeping views of the golden sand dunes and arid plains stretching across the border into Pakistan.
Indus River
A clear view of the massive river meandering through the fertile plains of the Sindh province.
Karachi Metropolis
The dense urban sprawl and busy shipping ports of Pakistan's largest city visible along the coast.
Makran Coastal Range
Spectacular views of unique, light-colored rock formations and steep cliffs along the Balochistan shoreline.
Gulf of Oman
Deep sapphire waters filled with cargo ships and tankers navigating towards the Strait of Hormuz.
The right side is highly recommended for daytime flights, as the sun is positioned to illuminate the stunning Makran coastline without excessive glare. For the best photographic results of the Indus River crossing, ensure your seat is not obstructed by the aircraft wing.
Aravalli Range
Aerial views of the ancient, weathered mountain peaks of Rajasthan shortly after departure.
Rann of Kutch
Distant glimpses of the shimmering white salt marshes located to the south of the flight path.
Indus Delta
A sprawling network of mangrove forests and tidal creeks where the Indus River meets the sea.
Arabian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses the open ocean towards the Arabian Peninsula.
Al Hajar Mountains
The sharp, dark ridges of Oman's coastal mountains appearing during the final descent into Muscat.
Select the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to witness the sun setting directly over the Arabian Sea. During the final approach into Muscat, this side often provides a clear view of the Omani shoreline and coastal suburbs.
