Which side of the plane to sit from Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah) to Dera Ghazi Khan Airport (Dera Ghazi Khan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic Sulaiman mountain ranges and the varied fold mountains of the Balochistan plateau during the descent into Dera Ghazi Khan.
Sharjah & Northern Emirates
Aerial view of the interconnected urban sprawl of Sharjah, Ajman, and Umm Al Quwain immediately after takeoff.
Musandam Peninsula
Distant glimpses of the rugged mountains and jagged coastline often referred to as the Norway of the Middle East.
Siahan Mountain Range
Striking parallel ridges and unique geological formations of the Balochistan plateau visible during mid-flight.
Sulaiman Mountains
Dramatic fold mountains and craggy peaks that define the western edge of the Indus valley during the final approach.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the intricate textures of the Sulaiman range without engine heat distortion. On morning flights, the sun remains on the right side of the aircraft, providing perfectly lit, glare-free views of the Pakistani mountain terrain.
Hajar Mountains
The dark, craggy peaks of the UAE-Oman border crossing shortly after departure from Sharjah.
Gulf of Oman
Vast blue expanses frequently dotted with international shipping tankers entering and exiting the Persian Gulf.
Makran Coastline
The arid and beautiful coastline of southern Pakistan featuring unique mud volcanoes and desert-meets-sea landscapes.
Indus River Basin
The sudden transition to lush green agricultural patches and intricate canal systems as the plane nears Dera Ghazi Khan.
The right side is ideal for coastal enthusiasts during the first half of the trip. However, be prepared for significant sun glare on morning departures. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes to capture the stark contrast between the arid plains and the fertile Indus riverbanks.
