Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring views of the Andaman Islands, the southern tip of India, and the most iconic perspectives of the Doha skyline during the approach into Hamad International Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Andaman Islands

Scattered emerald islands and coral reefs visible in the Bay of Bengal.

🐘

Southern Indian Coast

The lush Western Ghats and the tropical shoreline of Kerala as the flight crosses the subcontinent.

🚤

Strait of Hormuz

Aerial view of the narrow waterway separating the Arabian Peninsula from Iran.

🏙️

The Pearl and West Bay

Stunning views of Doha's man-made islands and skyscraper cluster on the final descent.

This is the 'scenic side' for the arrival. Most flights into DOH approach from the north or east, placing the Pearl-Qatar and the iconic West Bay skyline directly in view of right-side windows. For night flights, these areas are brilliantly illuminated.

Left Side Highlights
7.1
🚢

Strait of Malacca

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, visible shortly after takeoff from KUL.

🌊

Arabian Sea

Deep blue oceanic vistas during the central portion of the six-to-seven-hour flight.

⛰️

Musandam Peninsula

The rugged 'Fjords of Arabia' in northern Oman visible as the aircraft enters the Persian Gulf.

🏗️

Al Wakrah Stadium

Distinctive Zaha Hadid-designed stadium visible if approaching Doha from the south.

Select this side if you are flying during the late afternoon to witness a desert sunset over the Arabian Peninsula. It is also typically quieter as it avoids the direct glare of the sun for most of the westbound journey.
