NAGSHJ

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏢

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

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.
