Which side of the plane to sit from Muscat International Airport (Muscat) to Sialkot Airport (Sialkot)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Makran coastline and the dramatic, barren mountain ranges of Balochistan, followed by a potential view of the distant snow-capped Himalayas during the descent into Sialkot.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters transitioning into the turquoise shallows of the Arabian Sea shortly after takeoff.
Makran Coast Range
Stunning views of the unique, eroded clay and sandstone peaks along the coast of Pakistan.
Balochistan Highlands
Vast, moon-like landscapes of the central Balochistan plateaus with dramatic geological folds.
Indus River System
As you cross into the Punjab region, observe the intricate networks of the Indus and its tributaries.
Pir Panjal Range
On clear days, the distant northern horizon reveals the snow-capped foothills of the Himalayas.
Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains of Balochistan. During the winter months, the air is clearer, significantly increasing your chances of seeing the Himalayan peaks during the final 30 minutes of the flight. Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur affecting your photos of the terrain.
Muscat Cityscape
A beautiful view of the white architecture of Muscat nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Al Hajar Mountains
The jagged, dark peaks of the eastern Hajar range provide a dramatic backdrop immediately after departure.
Punjab Agricultural Heartland
A patchwork quilt of lush green fields as the flight passes over the fertile plains of Pakistan.
Chenab River
A clear view of the meandering Chenab River as it flows through the Punjab province towards the approach.
Sialkot Urban Area
The dense industrial and residential layout of Sialkot, known for its sporting goods manufacturing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Arabian Sea. It provides the best view of the Al Hajar mountains upon departure from Muscat. During the monsoon season (July-September), this side often provides better views of dramatic cloud formations over the Indian subcontinent plains.
