An Nafud Desert
Aerial views of the striking reddish-gold sand dunes and rock formations of the northern Arabian interior.
Riyadh & Central Plateau
A distant glimpse of the Saudi capital's modern skyline and the sprawling urban expansion in the desert.
Al Hajar Mountains
The rugged, dark peaks of the Omani mountain range as the flight exits the Arabian Peninsula.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
The transition from the arid Middle East to the lush, green, and densely populated agricultural heartland of India.
The Sundarbans
The world's largest mangrove forest, visible as a complex tapestry of emerald islands and winding river channels.
Ganges Delta
A spectacular view of the intricate network of distributaries as the flight nears the Bangladeshi coast.
For the JED-CGP route, which often flies eastbound during the night or early morning, the left side (North) avoids the direct glare of the rising sun. Look out for the Sundarbans approximately 40 minutes before landing; this area is best viewed in the morning light when the mist clears over the delta.

Views of the northern fringes of the 'Empty Quarter', the largest contiguous sand desert in the world.
Arabian Sea Crossing
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with massive cargo ships on international shipping lanes.
Western Ghats
The dramatic escarpment of India's western coastline as the aircraft enters Indian airspace near Mumbai.
Bay of Bengal
Glittering reflections on the water, particularly beautiful during the golden hour of sunrise.
Chittagong Port
A view of one of the world's largest ship-breaking yards and the busy maritime traffic entering the Karnaphuli River.
The right side offers a great perspective of the Chittagong coastline and the naval base during the final descent. If the flight arrives in the early morning, be prepared for significant sun glare on this side. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side offers dramatic views of towering cumulus clouds over the Bay of Bengal.
