Al-Masjid an-Nabawi
If departing towards the north, you may see the stunning white architecture of the Prophet's Mosque shortly after takeoff.
Harrat Rahat
Vast, dark volcanic lava fields located just east of Madinah, creating a stark contrast with the desert sand.
Makran Range
Spectacularly folded rock formations and rugged ridges as the flight crosses into Pakistani airspace.
Indus River Basin
The winding Indus River and its extensive network of irrigation canals that turn the landscape into a green patchwork.
Lahore Urban Sprawl
Dense urban views and historical landmarks as the aircraft descends into Allama Iqbal International.
Sit on the left to avoid the harsh southern sun during daytime flights. For night flights, this side provides a better view of the illuminated city centers of Madinah and Lahore. Keep your window shade open during the first 10 minutes for potential holy site views.

Rub' al Khali Edge
The northern fringes of the 'Empty Quarter', showcasing massive orange sand dunes.
Gwadar Peninsula
The hammerhead-shaped peninsula and strategic port on the Arabian Sea coastline.
Hingol National Park
Unique coastal rock sculptures and mud volcanoes visible along the Makran Coastal Highway.
Punjab Farmlands
Lush agricultural belts and rural villages of the Sindh and Punjab provinces during the final approach.
Choose this side if you enjoy coastal views; the transition from the Arabian Sea to the Pakistani mainland is visually striking. During summer months, the atmospheric haze is often less intrusive when looking south toward the ocean.
