PEWAAN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the rugged Sulaiman and Makran mountain ranges of Pakistan and a stunning approach over the Hajar Mountains into the Al Ain oasis.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Hindu Kush Foothills

Immediate views of the dramatic mountain terrain surrounding Peshawar shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Sulaiman Range

Striking limestone ridges and jagged peaks that form the boundary between the Indus plain and the Iranian plateau.

🏜️

Makran Highlands

Extraterrestrial-looking mud volcanoes and ridges along the southern coast of Balochistan.

🪨

Hajar Mountains

Dark, craggy volcanic rock formations that define the border between Oman and the UAE.

⛰️

Jebel Hafeet

The iconic 1,249-meter limestone mountain that dominates the skyline of Al Ain during the final descent.

The right side is ideal for photographers interested in geological formations. The late afternoon light beautifully highlights the textures of the Balochistan mountains. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a close-up view of Jebel Hafeet.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Indus River Basin

Aerial views of the winding Indus River and the lush green agricultural belts of the Sindh province.

🏜️

Thar Desert Edge

The eastern horizon reveals the shifting sands and arid landscapes of the Great Indian Desert.

🏙️

Karachi Periphery

On many flight paths, the sprawling urban landscape of Pakistan's largest city is visible to the south.

🚢

Arabian Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses the Gulf of Oman toward the Arabian Peninsula.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As you approach Al Ain, this side provides an excellent perspective of the city's unique grid layout and the contrasting greenery of its famous date palm oases.
