NAG → SHJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (Nagpur) to Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse visual experience, including the Indian coastline of Gujarat and a superior perspective of the dramatic Hajar Mountains and Sharjah's urban skyline during the final approach.
Nagpur Skyline
Clear views of the 'Zero Mile' city and its surrounding lakes immediately after takeoff.
Gujarat Coastline
Visible views of the Gulf of Khambhat and the industrial hubs near the shoreline.
Musandam Peninsula
The dramatic 'Fjords of Arabia' and the jagged coastline where the mountains meet the sea.
Sharjah City Center
Direct views of the Al Majaz Waterfront and the dense skyscraper clusters on final approach.
Sharjah Desert Park
The transition from the reddish dunes to the urban sprawl of the Emirates.
Highly recommended for morning flights to avoid glare. On the approach to SHJ, this side typically offers a clear view of the Hajar Mountains' northern peaks. Watch for the Musandam Peninsula about 20-30 minutes before landing, as the geological formations are world-class.
Western Ghats
View the southern slopes of the Sahyadri range as the flight departs the Indian landmass.
Arabian Sea
Vast stretches of deep blue water dominant for the middle two hours of the journey.
Southern Hajar Range
The rugged, arid peaks of the UAE-Oman border visible during the initial descent.
Evening Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the horizon.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to capture the sunset. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the day as the southern sun can be very intense at high altitudes. This side is generally quieter for photography during the oceanic crossing.
