Our Recommendation

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Iranian coastline and the breathtaking turquoise transition of the Persian Gulf during the final approach into Bahrain.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Vietnam Coastline

Beautiful beaches and mountainous terrain of Central Vietnam near the city of Da Nang.

⛰️

Southeast Asian Highlands

Rugged, forested mountain ranges crossing through the borders of Laos and Thailand.

🇮🇳

Northern India

The sprawling urban centers and vast agricultural plains of the Indian heartland.

⛰️

Makran Coast

Unique, moon-like geological formations along the rugged coastline of Pakistan and Iran.

💎

Persian Gulf

Breathtaking emerald and turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding the Bahraini archipelago.

This side is ideal for daytime flights to witness the dramatic contrast between the Iranian mountains and the Persian Gulf. The right side typically provides the best angle of the Bahrain International Circuit and the northern reefs of Bahrain during the standard descent pattern.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Manila Bay

Panoramic views of the Philippine capital's skyline and busy harbor during departure.

🌾

Mekong Delta

The lush green agricultural heartland and complex river networks of Southern Vietnam.

🌊

Arabian Sea

Expansive blue horizons while crossing from the Indian subcontinent toward the Middle East.

🏙️

UAE Coastline

Distant views of the futuristic skyscrapers and artificial islands of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

🏜️

Arabian Desert

The vast, rolling red and gold dunes of the Empty Quarter as you approach the Gulf region.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Keep an eye out for the glittering lights of the UAE's major cities if the flight path follows the southern corridor. This side is often less affected by direct glare during westbound afternoon flights.
