Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic views of the limestone peaks surrounding Muscat immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters with clear visibility of the transition between the Omani and Pakistani maritime zones.
Gwadar Peninsula
The distinctive hammerhead-shaped peninsula and deep-sea port visible as you enter Pakistani airspace.
Hingol National Park
Aerial views of the surreal mud volcanoes and the Princess of Hope rock formations along the coast.
Karachi Urban Sprawl
The dense cityscape of Karachi including the northern industrial and residential districts during descent.
Book a window seat on the left for daytime flights to capture the contrasting colors of the golden desert cliffs and the turquoise sea. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Pakistani coastline perfectly. Watch for the 'Sphinx' rock formation when flying over Hingol National Park.
