Search flights from KUL to MCT
Andaman Islands
Lush green archipelagos surrounded by coral reefs visible during the crossing of the Bay of Bengal.
Southern Indian Peninsula
Views of the sprawling landscapes and urban centers of the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka regions.
Western Ghats
The mist-covered mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of India.
Al Hajar Mountains
The stark, dramatic limestone peaks of Oman that provide a breathtaking backdrop for the descent.
Gulf of Oman
The deep turquoise waters and rugged cliffs leading into the port city of Muscat.
This is the preferred side for the final 45 minutes of the journey. As you approach Muscat, the plane often flies parallel to the coast, offering incredible views of the barren, jagged Hajar Mountains. For photography, ensure you have a clean window before the descent begins as the terrain contrast is spectacular in the morning light.
