Which side of the plane to sit from Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait) to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most diverse geographic features, including the dramatic fjords of the Musandam Peninsula and the unique landscape of the Rann of Kutch salt flats.
Iranian Coastline
Distant views of the rugged mountains along the southern coast of Iran across the Persian Gulf.
Musandam Peninsula
The 'Fjords of Arabia' where the mountains of Oman drop sharply into the Strait of Hormuz.
Great Rann of Kutch
The vast, white seasonal salt marsh that creates a shimmering, otherworldly landscape during the approach to India.
Northern Ahmedabad
Aerial view of the rapidly expanding urban landscape and cricket stadiums on the northern edge of the city.
For day flights, the left side provides excellent light for photographing the Musandam Peninsula. In winter, look for migratory birds in the Rann of Kutch. Sit ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the horizon.
UAE Urban Sprawl
Views of the glittering skylines of Abu Dhabi or Dubai depending on the specific air corridor assigned.
Jamnagar Industrial Hub
One of the world's largest oil refinery complexes, recognizable by its massive infrastructure near the Gujarat coast.
Gulf of Khambhat
The silt-heavy waters of the gulf where the Sabarmati and Mahi rivers meet the Arabian Sea.
Sabarmati Riverfront
The developed urban riverfront of Ahmedabad visible during the final descent into AMD airport.
The right side is superior for night flights, offering a spectacular view of the illuminated UAE coastline. During the day, watch for the distinct color changes in the water as you cross the Gulf of Khambhat near the end of the journey.
