Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport (Madinah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Makran coastline of Pakistan shortly after takeoff and the rugged volcanic landscapes of the Hejaz region during the descent into Madinah.
Search flights from KHI to MED
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning views of the moon-like rock formations and white sand beaches of Balochistan, Pakistan.
Gulf Cityscapes
Distant views of the shimmering skylines of the UAE or Oman depending on the specific air corridor.
Ad-Dahna Desert
The 'River of Sand' connecting the northern and southern deserts of Saudi Arabia with distinct reddish hues.
Harrat Rahat
Massive black volcanic lava fields surrounding Madinah that provide a stark contrast to the desert sand.
Mount Uhud
As the plane banks for arrival, look for the historic rocky ridges of Mount Uhud north of the city.
The right side is highly recommended for the initial 45 minutes of the flight to see the Pakistani coast. During descent, look for the transition from golden sands to dark volcanic basalt rocks. Use a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the volcanic fields near Madinah.

Arabian Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arabian Sea as the aircraft tracks west from Karachi.
Rub' al Khali Fringe
Glimpses of the northern edges of the Empty Quarter, showing vast, undulating sand dunes.
Central Saudi Oases
Small desert settlements and circular agricultural irrigation patches visible in the central plateau.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and to avoid direct glare from the sun when flying westward. This side is better for observing the vastness of the Arabian desert's interior.
