Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior perspective of the rugged Iranian coastline, the crossing of the Arabian Sea, and most importantly, the majestic distant peaks of the Himalayan and Pir Panjal ranges upon the approach to Sialkot.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Hejaz Mountains

The dramatic dark volcanic peaks that rise sharply from the Tihamah coastal plain east of Jeddah.

🌊

Persian Gulf Coast

Views of the turquoise shallows and busy maritime traffic near the Strait of Hormuz.

🏖️

Makran Coastline

The unique 'mud volcano' terrain and stark cliffs where the desert meets the Arabian Sea in Pakistan.

🛶

Chenab River

The wide, shimmering waters of the Chenab as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.

🏔️

The Himalayas

On clear days, the breathtaking snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal range are visible to the northeast during descent.

This is the 'Himalaya side.' For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the mountains to the north. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to cut through the haze often found over the Punjab plains for a clearer view of the distant peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Jeddah Waterfront

Aerial views of the King Fahd's Fountain and the growing Jeddah skyline shortly after departure.

🏜️

Arabian Heartland

The vast, undulating sand dunes of the Najd region, showcasing the stark beauty of the Saudi desert.

🏔️

Zagros Mountains

Deeply weathered canyons and folded rock layers of the Iranian plateau's central ranges.

💧

Indus River Basin

The intricate silver threads of the Indus River meandering through the plains of Punjab.

🚜

Punjab Farmlands

A vibrant green patchwork quilt of agricultural fields as you enter Pakistani airspace.

Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction when viewing the desert patterns. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light catches the dust in the Arabian atmosphere, creating a deep orange glow over the dunes.
