Musandam Peninsula

Strait of Hormuz

For day flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight during the southeasterly journey, providing better conditions for photography. On the descent into CCJ, look for the 'tabletop' appearance of the runway which is unique to this airport. Morning flights offer the crispest views of the Omani mountains before the midday haze sets in.

Arabian Desert
Expansive views of the arid interior landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula during the initial flight phase.
Al Hajar Mountains
The dark, jagged peaks of the Hajar range stretching across the northern tip of Oman.
Arabian Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast ocean, offering spectacular sunsets on evening flight schedules.
Western Ghats
The misty blue silhouette of the mountain range that runs parallel to the Indian coast visible on clear days.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Be aware that during the monsoon season (June–September), views on both sides may be obscured by heavy cloud cover as you approach India. Keep an eye out for the distinct red soil and tropical greenery of the Kozhikode district during the final approach.
