Which side of the plane to sit from Muscat International Airport (Muscat) to Turbat International Airport (Turbat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Omani coastline during departure and the dramatic, stark beauty of the Makran Coastal Range and the Kech River valley upon arrival in Pakistan.
Muscat Coastline
Stunning views of the Al Hajar Mountains meeting the sea and the suburban sprawl of the Al Batinah region.
Jiwani Peninsula
The first sight of the Pakistani coast, featuring dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters near the border.
Makran Coastal Range
Breathtaking views of the 'Moon-like' landscape with sharp ridges and deep canyons characteristic of Balochistan.
Kech River Valley
Look for the patches of green date palm orchards that line the riverbed as you approach Turbat International Airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the shadows defining the mountain ridges. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight for the most dramatic terrain. Seasonal dust storms in summer can obscure views, so winter months provide the clearest vistas.
Gulf of Oman
Expansive views of the deep blue waters separating the Arabian Peninsula from the Asian continent.
Western Makran Range
Observation of the jagged, arid mountain ridges that define the border region between Iran and Pakistan.
Turbat Basin Approach
A view of the surrounding desert landscape and the scattered settlements on the outskirts of Turbat city.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking out toward the open horizon of the Gulf. During the final descent, watch for the unique geological folds of the Balochistan mountains. Visibility is often best in the early morning before heat haze and dust accumulate.
