KHIDOH

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled view of the rugged Makran coastline of Pakistan and the dramatic lunar-like mountain ranges of Balochistan before crossing the Strait of Hormuz.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Makran Coastal Range

Breathtaking views of the eroded, moon-like rock formations and folded mountain ranges of southwestern Pakistan.

🗿

Hingol National Park

Look for the unique geological structures and mud volcanoes located along the desert coastline.

⚓

Gwadar Peninsula

The distinct hammerhead-shaped peninsula and the rapidly growing deep-sea port city of Gwadar.

🚢

Strait of Hormuz

One of the world's most important shipping lanes, usually dotted with numerous oil tankers and cargo ships.

🏜️

Qatari Desert

The stark contrast of the arid Qatari landscape and the industrial complexes of Ras Laffan appearing as you enter Qatari airspace.

The right side is significantly better for daytime flights to observe the dramatic geological features of the Pakistani coast. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing. Watch for the 'Princess of Hope' rock formation in Hingol Park shortly after takeoff from Karachi.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

Infinite views of the deep blue Arabian Sea and the shifting turquoise hues near the continental shelf.

🏔️

Musandam Peninsula

The jagged, fjord-like limestone peaks of Oman's Musandam region protruding into the sea.

🏙️

UAE Skyline

On clear days, the distant but distinct silhouettes of Dubai's skyscrapers, including the Burj Khalifa, may be visible.

🌆

Doha West Bay

A stunning aerial perspective of the Doha Corniche and the futuristic high-rises as the plane turns for its final approach.

Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Persian Gulf. This side is also better for spotting the glittering lights of the United Arab Emirates and the glowing Pearl-Qatar development during night landings at Hamad International.
