Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse visual experience, combining the azure waters of the Persian Gulf and the dramatic geological formations of the Makran Coast with the vast agricultural tapestry of the Punjab region.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Persian Gulf Coastline

Clear views of the shallow turquoise waters and the industrial hubs along the Iranian southern coast.

🏝️

Qeshm Island

The largest island in the Persian Gulf, featuring unique erosional landscapes and salt caves visible from altitude.

🏜️

Makran Coastal Range

Incredible moon-like landscapes of the Balochistan coast, featuring active mud volcanoes and uplifted marine terraces.

🌾

Indus River Valley

The lifeblood of Pakistan, appearing as a massive green corridor cutting through the arid surroundings.

🚜

Punjab Plains

A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields that defines the approach into Allama Iqbal International.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunlight illuminating the Makran cliffs. Keep your camera ready about 60-90 minutes into the flight for the best coastal shots. Be aware that seasonal smog in the Punjab (late autumn/winter) can significantly reduce visibility during the final 20 minutes of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Zagros Mountains

Stunning views of the rugged, folded mountain belts of southwestern Iran shortly after crossing the Gulf.

🏜️

Dasht-e Lut

Glances toward the salt deserts of the Iranian plateau, known for unique yardang rock formations.

⛰️

Sulaiman Range

The dramatic transition from the high Iranian plateau down toward the Indus River basin.

🌊

Ravi River

The meandering path of the Ravi River as the flight enters the final approach phase into Lahore.

🏙️

Northern Lahore

Dense urban views of the historic city core and the sprawling suburban developments to the north.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the intricate textures of the Iranian mountain ranges without engine heat distortion. During evening flights, this side avoids direct glare, providing better conditions for photography of the mountain shadows.
