Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more dramatic view of the rugged mountain ranges in northern Saudi Arabia and the spectacular transition from the Arabian desert to the jagged Makran mountains and the lush Indus River basin in Pakistan.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Al-Hejaz Mountains

Dramatic dark volcanic peaks and rugged terrain visible shortly after departure from Madinah.

🏜️

Ad-Dahna Desert

The striking narrow strip of high-crested red sand dunes that connects the two major deserts of Saudi Arabia.

🏢

Northern Persian Gulf

Views of the industrial coastline and turquoise waters near the northern reaches of the Gulf.

🏔️

Makran Range

The desolate and alien-like geological formations of the Balochistan mountains as you enter Pakistani airspace.

🌾

Indus River Basin

The sudden transition to the fertile green plains and winding river systems of the Punjab region.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, this side remains in the shade, providing better lighting for photography of the desert textures and the Indus valley. Watch for the sharp contrast between the arid Balochistan hills and the irrigated plains near Multan.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🕌

Madinah Outskirts

Glimpses of the expanding holy city and its unique urban layout surrounded by harrah (lava fields).

🏙️

UAE Coastline

Distant views of the modern skylines of Abu Dhabi or Dubai depending on the specific air corridor used.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

The vast expanse of the Arabian Sea meeting the coastline of the Arabian Peninsula.

🚜

Sindh Farmland

A patchwork of agricultural plots and rural villages as the aircraft progresses toward central Pakistan.

🕍

Sutlej River

One of the major five rivers of Punjab, often visible during the final descent into Multan.

The right side is excellent for seeing city lights during night flights, particularly over the UAE and the growing urban centers of Pakistan. However, for daytime flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the journey, which can cause significant glare and make the cabin warmer. Look out for the historic circular patterns of pivot irrigation in the Saudi interior.
