LHEJED

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual journey, featuring the rugged Sulaiman Mountains after takeoff, the dramatic Makran coastline of Pakistan, and a breathtaking descent over the Sarawat Mountains into the coastal beauty of the Red Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Sulaiman Mountains

Rugged, arid mountain ranges forming the eastern edge of the Iranian Plateau as you leave Pakistan.

🌊

Makran Coastline

The dramatic meeting point of the Balochistan desert and the Arabian Sea, featuring unique rock formations.

🏔️

Al Hajar Range

Deep canyons and sharp peaks of northern Oman visible as the flight enters the Arabian Peninsula.

🌋

Harrat Rahat

Ancient volcanic lava fields in Saudi Arabia that create a stark, blackened landscape against the sand.

🌅

Red Sea Horizon

Spectacular views of the crystal blue Red Sea, especially during the sunset descent into Jeddah.

🏢

Jeddah Waterfront

Close-up views of the Corniche and the King Fahd Fountain during the final approach to JED.

The right side is unbeatable for afternoon flights, offering stunning sunset views over the Red Sea. For the best photography of the Jeddah skyline on arrival, sit ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Lahore Skyline

Aerial view of the Walled City and the sprawling urban landscape of Lahore immediately after departure.

🏞️

Indus River Basin

Witness the massive, winding Indus River as it carves through the fertile plains of Punjab and Sindh.

🏜️

Rub' al Khali Desert

Vast stretches of the Empty Quarter featuring iconic longitudinal sand dunes and shifting orange sands.

🏗️

Riyadh Outskirts

Distant views of the Saudi capital and its modern infrastructure as the flight crosses the central plateau.

The left side is preferable for morning flights (LHE-JED) to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the agricultural heartland of Pakistan and the sheer scale of the Arabian desert interior.
