Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged, moon-like landscapes of the Makran Coastal Range in Balochistan and the dramatic approach over the Hajar Mountains in Oman.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Sulaiman Mountains

Rugged, arid mountain ridges that define the border regions between Pakistan's provinces.

🏜️

Makran Coastline

Spectacular views of unique mud volcanoes and the 'moonscape' rock formations of Balochistan near Gwadar.

🚤

Gulf of Oman

Deep turquoise waters where the desert meets the sea, often dotted with cargo ships heading toward the Strait of Hormuz.

🏔️

Al Hajar Mountains

The jagged, dark limestone peaks of Oman rising sharply from the coast as you descend into Muscat.

🏗️

Mina Al Sultan Qaboos

Aerial view of the historic port area and the Muttrah Corniche during the final descent patterns.

On morning flights, the right side is shaded, providing much better visibility for photography. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing to capture the incredible geological folds of the Makran coast and the sharp contrast of the Omani mountains against the sea.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏘️

Peshawar Urban Sprawl

View the historic city of Peshawar and the expanding urban landscape of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Indus River Basin

Distant views of the fertile plains and the winding path of the Indus River system to the east.

🌊

Arabian Sea Horizon

The vast, shimmering expanse of the Arabian Sea as the flight moves south towards the Gulf of Oman.

🏙️

Muscat Coastline

During the final approach, catch glimpses of the Omani capital's white buildings nestled against the blue sea.

The left side is ideal for morning flights if you want to see the sunrise over the Indian subcontinent, though it faces direct sunlight early in the trip. It provides a more serene, maritime-focused view during the second half of the journey.
