Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views, as the sun will set on the port side of the aircraft for most of this westward journey. If flying during the monsoon season (June to September), expect heavy cloud cover over India, making the Arabian Peninsula section the primary visual highlight. For the best views of the Red Sea reefs, ensure you are seated behind the wing to avoid engine glare.

The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer softer lighting, as it avoids direct sunlight for the majority of the flight.

This side provides a better view of the northern reaches of the Saudi desert and the Sarawat mountain range during the initial stages of descent.
