Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

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.
