LHEKWI

Our Recommendation
8.6

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Balochistan mountain ranges, the rugged Iranian coastline across the Gulf, and a more direct view of the Kuwait City skyline during the standard approach into Kuwait International Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
🏔️

Sulaiman Mountain Range

High-altitude, rugged peaks and deep valleys that define the transition from the Indus plains to the highlands.

🏜️

Balochistan Badlands

Surreal, Martian-like geological formations and arid plateaus that offer some of the most unique aerial photography opportunities.

⛰️

Zagros Mountains

The distant, often snow-capped peaks of the Iranian plateau visible across the waters of the Persian Gulf.

🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

A stunning view of the Kuwait Towers and the Al Hamra Tower as the plane banks for its final descent.

The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. Early in the flight, the terrain over Balochistan is visually stunning. During the approach into KWI, the right side usually provides a clear view of the city center and the iconic waterfront structures. Seasonal haze in the Gulf can sometimes obscure distant Iranian peaks, so clear winter days offer the best visibility.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
💧

Indus River Meanders

The complex, winding patterns of the Indus River as it flows through the southern Punjab and Sindh regions.

🏖️

Makran Coastal Line

Breathtaking views of the turquoise Arabian Sea meeting the stark, white sandy beaches of the Pakistani coast.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

The deep blue expanse where the Arabian Sea transitions into the strategic waters of the Persian Gulf.

🏗️

Offshore Oil Platforms

Intricate networks of oil and gas rigs visible as small sparks or structures in the northern Persian Gulf.

Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize direct sunlight glare. This side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Arabian Sea. Watch for the unique 'Hammerhead' shape of the Ormara peninsula shortly after leaving the Pakistani mainland.
