Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the rugged, moon-like landscapes of the Balochistan mountains and the best views of the Persian Gulf coastline during the descent into Doha.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Sulaiman Mountains

Dramatic, folded mountain ridges that create a harsh yet beautiful geographic barrier in western Pakistan.

🏜️

Makran Coastal Range

Unique white clay cliffs and moon-like geological formations that line the Arabian Sea coast.

🌊

Strait of Hormuz

The narrow gateway to the Persian Gulf, often filled with large oil tankers and cargo ships.

⛰️

Musandam Peninsula

The rugged 'Fjords of Arabia' with deep blue water cutting into the jagged Omani mountains.

🏝️

The Pearl-Qatar

The iconic man-made island and West Bay skyline are usually visible during the final approach into Hamad International.

The right side is essential for daylight flights to capture the unique geology of Balochistan. To avoid the direct glare of the sun on this westward route, afternoon flights are best for photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌾

Indus River Basin

The intricate network of the Indus river system provides a green contrast to the surrounding arid terrain shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Kirthar Range

Stark limestone ridges that form a natural boundary between the Sindh and Balochistan provinces.

🚢

Karachi Port

The sprawling urban density and massive maritime infrastructure of Pakistan's largest city.

🏙️

UAE Coastline

Distant, shimmering views of the architectural marvels of Dubai and Abu Dhabi across the Gulf.

⚓

Hamad Port

The massive, modern port facilities of Qatar visible just before the final landing sequence.

Choose the left side for night flights to see the expansive orange glow of Karachi. In winter, early morning flights provide beautiful mist over the Indus plains.
