Which side of the plane to sit from Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah) to Multan International Airport (Multan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the stunning geological formations of the Makran Coast and the rugged Suleiman Mountains as you enter Pakistani airspace.
Sharjah & Ajman Skyline
Clear views of the Sharjah lagoons, the Khalid Lake, and the dense urban sprawl of the northern Emirates immediately after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
The sharp, jagged peaks of the northern Hajar range stretching across the border into the Musandam Peninsula.
Makran Coastline
Spectacular white clay cliffs and unique rock formations where the Balochistan desert meets the turquoise Arabian Sea.
Hingol National Park
Look for the 'Princess of Hope' and other dramatic wind-sculpted rock structures from a high altitude.
Suleiman Mountain Range
The high ridges and deep valleys of the Suleiman range that mark the transition from the plateau to the plains.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the white clay cliffs of the Makran coast. If the flight path takes a northern loop, you will see the transition from the arid Balochistan terrain to the fertile plains of Punjab in high contrast.
Gulf of Oman
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often dotted with massive oil tankers and cargo ships.
Gadani Coast
Views of the shoreline near Karachi and the Gadani area where the coastal shelf drops off into the deep sea.
Indus River Basin
The massive, meandering Indus River as it snakes through the southern Punjab region, visible during the descent.
Punjab Farmlands
A patchwork quilt of lush green agricultural fields and irrigation canals as you approach Multan.
Multan Cityscape
The historic 'City of Saints' reveals itself with its dense urban core and proximity to the Chenab River.
The right side is best during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the winding Indus River about 20-30 minutes before landing, as it provides a beautiful silver reflection during the golden hour.
