SHJ โ JAI
Which side of the plane to sit from Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah) to Jaipur International Airport (Jaipur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Indus River Delta's intricate drainage patterns and typically provides a better panoramic view of the 'Pink City' during the final approach into Jaipur.
Sharjah Skyline
Immediate views of Sharjahโs corniche and urban architecture during the climb out.
Jebel Jais Range
A dramatic perspective of the highest mountain peaks in the region to the south of the flight path.
Indus River Delta
A spectacular maze of mangroves and silt-laden tributaries where the Indus meets the Arabian Sea.
Rann of Kutch
On clear days, the shimmering white salt flats of Gujarat are visible far to the south.
Great Indian Desert
Expansive golden landscapes featuring remote desert hamlets and sand ripple patterns.
Jaipur Urban View
A detailed look at the dense urban planning of Jaipur and its historic forts during the descent.
This side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During monsoon season (July-September), look for the dramatic contrast between the flooded Indus Delta and the arid Rajasthan plains.
Hajar Mountains
The rugged limestone peaks of the northern UAE and Oman visible shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue oceanic views with frequent sightings of international shipping lanes and tankers.
Indus River Valley
The lush green agricultural corridor of the Indus winding through the otherwise arid Sindh province.
Northern Thar Desert
Extensive views of the longitudinal sand dunes stretching across the Indo-Pak border.
Aravalli Range
Ancient mountain ridges that signal the final approach into the state of Rajasthan.
Sit forward of the wing to capture the Hajar Mountains without engine heat distortion. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun reflecting off the desert sands.
