Muscat Cityscape
Panoramic views of the capital's unique architecture tucked between mountains and sea.
Qantab Coastline
Striking turquoise waters and hidden coves along the Omani shore during takeoff.
Western Ghats
The dramatic green escarpment of India's coastal mountain range as you cross the shoreline.
Krishna River Basin
Aerial views of the winding river systems that irrigate the Telangana region.
Hyderabad Approach
Views of the expanding tech corridors and rocky outcrops surrounding the city.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh northern sun glare. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for Muscat's coastline and again about 45 minutes before landing for the spectacular crossing of the Western Ghats, which is particularly lush and green during the monsoon season (June–September).

Al Hajar Mountains
View the jagged northern peaks of Oman immediately after departure from Muscat.
Gulf of Oman
The deep blue expanse where the Arabian peninsula meets the Indian Ocean.
Mumbai Outskirts
If the flight path trends north, the sprawling northern suburbs of Mumbai can be seen.
Deccan Traps

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a better perspective of the rugged Omani mountain ranges during the initial climb. In the final hour, look for the transition from the coastal plains to the elevated Deccan Plateau.
