Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Muscat International Airport (Muscat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic as it tracks the dramatic Makran coastline of Pakistan before crossing the Gulf of Oman to reveal the rugged Hajar Mountains.
Karachi Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the massive Karachi metropolitan area and the Port of Karachi immediately after takeoff.
Makran Coastline
Breathtaking views of the rugged, desert-meets-sea cliffs and turquoise bays of Balochistan.
Gwadar Peninsula
The distinctive hammerhead-shaped peninsula and the rapidly developing deep-sea port.
Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Omani interior as the flight descends into Muscat.
Muscat Coastal Suburbs
The white-washed architecture of Seeb and Al Mouj contrasting against the dark mountain backdrop.
Sit on the right for the best coastal views. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the desert cliffs and mountain ridges perfectly. Keep a lookout for the 'Mud Volcanoes' along the Pakistani coast if the weather is clear.
Arabian Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arabian Sea throughout the mid-flight cruise.
Maritime Traffic
Spotting massive oil tankers and container ships traversing the strategic shipping lanes toward the Strait of Hormuz.
Oceanic Sun Glint
Spectacular reflections of sunlight off the water surface during mid-day flights.
The left side is mostly open water. If flying during the late afternoon, this side will face south/away from the harshest sun, but offers little in terms of geographic landmarks compared to the right.
