PEW β†’ BAH

Our Recommendation
8.4

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.

🌊

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.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡­

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.

Right Side Highlights

⛰️

Sulaiman Range

Rugged, high-altitude mountain ridges that form the natural boundary between the Indus valley and the Balochistan plateau.

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.
