Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled view of the Rub' al Khali's massive dune fields and the iconic Mumbai coastline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Empty Quarter

The Rub' al Khali's legendary orange sand dunes stretching to the southern horizon.

⛰️

Omani Mountains

The sharp, rocky ridges of the Al Hajar range near the southeastern coast.

🌅

Arabian Sea

Vast, uninterrupted ocean views often punctuated by dramatic cloud formations.

🌉

Bandra-Worli Sea Link

The iconic cable-stayed bridge and Mumbai's modern skyline during the descent.

🏙️

Marine Drive

The famous 'Queen's Necklace' curve along the Mumbai shore during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the best approach into Mumbai; most flights landing on Runway 27 offer a panoramic view of the city's coast. For afternoon flights, you will have the sun behind you, providing the best lighting for photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Hijaz Mountains

Rugged volcanic peaks seen immediately after departing Jeddah.

🏙️

Central Plateaus

Vast expanses of the Najd region with scattered oases and desert patterns.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

The deep blue transition where the Arabian Peninsula meets the sea.

🛳️

Shipping Lanes

Vessels traversing the northern Arabian Sea towards the Persian Gulf.

Recommended for morning flights to minimize sun glare while viewing the desert. Keep binoculars ready for distant views of the UAE coastline if the route takes a more northerly track.
