Riyadh Skyline
Aerial views of the King Abdullah Financial District and the sprawling capital as the plane ascends.
The Empty Quarter
Breathtaking views of the Rub' al Khali's massive, shifting red sand dunes stretching to the horizon.
Omani Coastline
The dramatic transition where the Dhofar desert mountains meet the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
Malabar Coast
A stunning first look at India's green canopy and the intricate network of Kerala's backwaters.
Laccadive Sea
Vibrant blue waters and occasional views of small fishing vessels as the flight nears the southern tip of India.
For the best experience, choose an overnight flight that arrives at dawn; the sunrise over the Arabian Sea on this side is spectacular. If flying during the day, keep your window shade down over the desert to avoid the intense glare, but open it 30 minutes before landing to see the Kerala greenery.
