KWI → PEW
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait) to Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the towering Hindu Kush mountain range and the historic Khyber Pass during the descent into Peshawar.
Kuwait City Skyline
Aerial views of the Kuwait Towers and the urban coastline immediately after takeoff from KWI.
Zagros Mountains
A lengthy crossing over Iran's majestic fold-and-thrust mountain belts with deep valleys.
Dasht-e Lut
The 'Desert of Emptiness' in Iran, showcasing dramatic rock formations and some of the world's hottest terrain.
Hindu Kush Range
Breath-taking snow-capped peaks as the flight nears the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.
Khyber Pass
The legendary mountain pass connecting Afghanistan and Pakistan, visible during the final approach phase.
Book a window seat on the left for a stunning view of Kuwait City during departure. During the mid-flight crossing of Iran, look for the unique geological patterns of the Zagros mountains. On descent into Peshawar, keep your camera ready for the rugged terrain of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography without glare.
The Persian Gulf
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and busy shipping lanes of the northern Gulf.
Iranian Coastline
Rugged coastal cliffs and remote beaches where the Iranian plateau meets the sea.
Balochistan Plateau
The vast, arid, and sparsely populated landscapes of southeastern Iran and western Pakistan.
Indus River Basin
The fertile plains and winding tributaries of the Indus River as you enter Pakistani airspace.
Peshawar Valley
The transition from rugged mountains to the lush, green agricultural outskirts of Peshawar.
The right side is excellent for viewing the Persian Gulf immediately after takeoff. However, be aware that on daytime flights heading East/North-East, you may encounter significant sun glare throughout the journey. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights, where the golden hour illuminates the Indus plains. Watch for the stark contrast between the desert mountains and the irrigated farmlands as you approach the destination.
