Our Recommendation
8.6

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic tectonic landscapes of Balochistan and the remarkable volcanic fields that precede the descent into Madinah.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
⛰️

Sulaiman Range

Rugged mountain folds in western Pakistan visible shortly after departure.

πŸ–οΈ

Makran Coast

Breathtaking sedimentary cliffs and unique coastal geology along the Balochistan shore.

πŸŒ‹

Harrat Khaybar

Massive black lava fields and distinct volcanic cones seen during the descent.

πŸ•Œ

Mount Uhud

The iconic historical mountain landmark visible to the north during the final approach.

Opt for the right side for daytime flights to see the spectacular Makran coastline and its 'mud volcanoes.' During descent, look for the 'Harrat'β€”vast black volcanic fields that look like ink spilled on the desert. For the best view of Mount Uhud, try to secure a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Arabian Sea

Deep turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman as the flight leaves the Pakistani coast.

🏜️

Rub' al Khali

Mesmerizing patterns of the 'Empty Quarter' sand dunes visible across central Arabia.

πŸ—οΈ

Port of Sohar

Distinct industrial and shipping hub views along the northern Omani coastline.

πŸŒ…

Horizon Glow

Stunning atmospheric colors and vast desert horizons during dawn or dusk flights.

The left side provides a cooler cabin during afternoon flights as it faces away from the direct sun. It offers excellent views of the vast Arabian Sea and the massive, rolling sand dunes of the Empty Quarter as you enter Saudi airspace. Watch for the transition from sea to sand as the aircraft crosses the Omani coast.
