Search flights from KHI to SHJ
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning views of the fold-and-thrust mountain belt running along the coast of Balochistan.
Chandragup Mud Volcanoes
Active mud volcanoes located near the coast, appearing as unique conical formations from above.
Gwadar Peninsula
The iconic hammerhead-shaped peninsula and port city are clearly visible halfway through the flight.
Northern Hajar Mountains
The rugged terrain of the Musandam Peninsula and the border between Oman and the UAE.
Sharjah Urban Landscape
A bird's eye view of Sharjah's distinctive architecture and the Khalid Lagoon during the final approach.
The Right Side is the clear winner for daytime flights. Sit here to see the incredible contrast between the turquoise sea and the desolate, lunar-like landscapes of the Pakistani coast. For the best photography, aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the cliffs from the east.

Arabian Sea Expanse
An endless view of the deep blue Arabian Sea for the majority of the cruise phase.
Fujairah Coastline
The point where the Gulf of Oman meets the UAE, featuring luxury resorts and sandy beaches.
Southern Hajar Mountains
Dramatic jagged peaks that form the backbone of the UAE's eastern region.
Dubai Horizon
On a clear day, the distant silhouette of the Burj Khalifa can be seen during the descent into Sharjah.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly scenic during the final 15 minutes of the flight as you cross the UAE coastline near Fujairah. Keep an eye out for large tankers anchored in the Gulf of Oman.
