PEW β BAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers views of the winding Indus River, the vibrant skylines of the UAE and Qatar across the water, and the iconic Manama city skyline during the final approach into Bahrain.
Peshawar Valley
Aerial views of the historic walled city and the lush green fields of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region during takeoff.
Indus River Basin
Watch the massive Indus River snake through the plains of Pakistan as you head toward the Arabian Sea.
UAE Coastline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi can be spotted shimmering across the Persian Gulf.
Qatar Peninsula
A distinct view of the Qatari landmass and the developing Pearl-Qatar area as the flight nears its destination.
Manama Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Bahrain World Trade Center and the Financial Harbour during the descent into BAH.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is especially rewarding during the night for the illuminated cityscapes of the Gulf. Look out for the King Fahd Causeway connecting Bahrain to Saudi Arabia just before landing.
Sulaiman Range
Rugged, high-altitude mountain ridges that form the natural boundary between the Indus valley and the Balochistan plateau.
Balochistan Badlands
Incredible Martian-like landscapes featuring deep canyons and desolate desert formations typical of western Pakistan.
Makran Coastline
The dramatic meeting point of the desert and the turquoise Arabian Sea, featuring unique mud volcanoes and cliffs.
Persian Gulf Islands
Dozens of small uninhabited islands and offshore oil platforms dotting the azure waters of the Gulf.
The right side is perfect for landscape photography enthusiasts interested in the geology of Balochistan. During evening flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the Persian Gulf. Keep your eyes peeled for the unique 'Princess of Hope' rock formation near the coast.
