Which side of the plane to sit from Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore) to King Fahd International Airport (Dammam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Sulaiman Mountains and the unique geological formations along the Makran Coastline and the Persian Gulf.
Sulaiman Range
Rugged, jagged peaks and deep valleys of the mountain range that separates the Indus plain from the Iranian Plateau.
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning white clay cliffs and 'Moonscape' mountains that define the coastal geography of Balochistan.
Persian Gulf Islands
Vibrant turquoise waters dotted with small islands and visible coral reefs along the Iranian and Gulf coasts.
Offshore Oil Rigs
A nighttime spectacle of gas flares and illuminated oil platforms scattered across the Persian Gulf.
Dammam Corniche
The modern waterfront and high-rise developments of the Dammam-Khobar metropolitan area during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for photography during daytime flights as it is usually shaded from direct sunlight. Look for the distinct 'Mud Volcanoes' near the Makran coast. During night flights, this side offers a better view of the bright orange flares from the regional oil and gas fields.
Lahore Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Walled City and the sprawling urban layout of Lahore shortly after takeoff.
Indus River Basin
The winding silver threads of the Indus River carving through the fertile plains of Punjab and Sindh.
Cholistan Desert
The vast, golden expanse of the desert sands stretching towards the southern horizon.
Indus River Delta
Observation of the complex network of creeks and mangroves where the Indus meets the Arabian Sea.
Dammam Sea Port
Aerial perspective of the massive King Abdulaziz Port and the cargo ships lining up in the Gulf.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side provides a better view of the agricultural heartland of Pakistan and the urban sprawl of the UAE if the flight path dips south. Keep an eye out for the vast industrial complexes of Jubail as you descend into Dammam.
