Which side of the plane to sit from Muscat International Airport (Muscat) to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
While much of the flight crosses the Arabian Sea, the Left Side is preferred for the spectacular views of the Great Rann of Kutch's white salt flats during the approach to India.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters and coastal patterns as the aircraft climbs away from the Omani coast.
Makran Coastline
Distant views of the rugged, moon-like geological formations along the southern coast of Pakistan.
Great Rann of Kutch
The highlight of the route, featuring vast, shimmering white salt marshes that look like snow from above.
Gujarat Plains
A transition into the green and gold mosaic of agricultural fields as the flight nears Ahmedabad.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Rann of Kutch. Opt for a daytime flight, as the white salt desert is invisible at night. During the winter months (November to February), the salt crust is at its brightest and most photogenic.
Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic views of the jagged, dark peaks surrounding Muscat immediately after takeoff.
Muscat Shoreline
An aerial perspective of the city's white architecture nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Arabian Sea
A long stretch of serene maritime views, occasionally dotted with cargo ships and tankers.
Little Rann of Kutch
Views of the unique wetlands and salt pans located south of the main flight path.
Ahmedabad Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Sabarmati River and the dense urban sprawl of Ahmedabad during final descent.
The right side offers the best views of the Omani landscape during the first 20 minutes of flight. For evening flights, this side provides beautiful sunset views over the Arabian Sea. Watch for the Sabarmati River during the final approach for a sense of the city's geography.
