Sharjah & Dubai Skyline
Aerial views of the urban sprawl and iconic skyscrapers of the Northern Emirates shortly after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
Dramatic desert peaks and deep wadi systems visible as the flight crosses the Oman border region.
Gulf of Oman
The transition from the arid Arabian coastline to the deep turquoise waters of the Gulf.
The Konkan Coast
Stunning views of the rugged Indian coastline where the greenery of the Ghats meets the Arabian Sea.
Western Ghats
Distant views of the mist-covered mountain range that runs parallel to India's western coast.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun, which will be on the right. During the descent into Goa, this side provides the best view of the landscape turning from blue to vibrant green. Aim for a seat in front of the wing for the most clear, unobstructed photography of the Hajar Mountains.
