Mumbai Vistas
Potential views of the densely packed Mumbai metropolis and the Back Bay during the coastal transition.
Dubai Landmarks
Unparalleled views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscraper clusters along Sheikh Zayed Road.
The Palm Jumeirah
A clear aerial perspective of the world-famous man-made palm-shaped archipelago.
Strait of Hormuz
Distant views of the Iranian mountains and the strategic shipping bottleneck of the Gulf.
The World Islands
An impressive view of the global-map-shaped artificial islands off the Dubai coast.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the Dubai skyline and the Palm Jumeirah glisten in the sun. Be prepared with your camera approximately 45 minutes before landing as the plane tracks along the UAE coast.

Western Ghats
Lush green mountain ridges and mist-covered valleys as the flight exits the Indian mainland.
Arabian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with cargo ships on international trade routes.
Omani Coastline
Rugged, sun-scorched mountain ranges and hidden coves near the Muscat region.
Abu Dhabi Skyline
Distant views of the UAE capital's grand mosques and modern architectural silhouettes.
Bahrain Reefs
Shallow, light-blue coral formations visible just before the final descent into Manama.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and a good view of the Western Ghats shortly after departure. This side is also better for spotting the Omani coastline if the flight takes a southern trajectory across the Arabian Peninsula.
