Which side of the plane to sit from King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) to Multan International Airport (Multan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior perspectives of Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, and the rugged Suleiman Mountains in Pakistan during the descent.
Red Sea Coast
Dramatic views of the Jeddah coastline and the coral reefs of the Red Sea during the initial ascent.
Riyadh Skyline
Aerial view of the Kingdom Centre and urban sprawl as the flight crosses the central Najd plateau.
Persian Gulf
Deep blue maritime views and offshore industrial activity while transiting towards the Pakistani coast.
Suleiman Mountains
The striking, arid ridges and folded rock formations of the Balochistan plateau before entering Punjab.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Saudi desert. This side is also better for spotting the lights of Riyadh on night flights. Look for the sharp contrast between the desert and the irrigated Suleiman foothills about 45 minutes before landing.
Rub' al Khali Fringes
The northern edges of the Empty Quarter, featuring massive longitudinal sand dunes and golden horizons.
UAE & Oman Coast
Distant views of the Musandam Peninsula's fjords and the glittering coastline of the Northern Emirates.
Indus River Basin
The vast green belt of the Indus River valley, showcasing the complex network of canals and fertile Punjab farmland.
Multan Shrines
The historic 'City of Saints' reveals its unique architecture and blue-tiled domes during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the sun setting over the Arabian desert. Keep an eye out for the Indus River meanders; they are most visible during the winter months when the air is clearer. High-altitude visibility is usually best over the Gulf of Oman.
