Dramatic views of the jagged 'fjords' of Oman shortly after takeoff from Sharjah.
Makran Coastline
Unique geological formations and desert cliffs visible across the Gulf of Oman.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you or to your right, preventing glare on the window. During the monsoon season (June to September), the left side provides the most dramatic views of waterfalls cascading down the Sahyadri mountains as you enter Indian airspace. Look out for the Godavari River winding through the landscape approximately 40 minutes before landing in Nagpur.

Hajar Mountains
The imposing dark rock faces of the UAE's mountain range visible immediately after departure.
Strait of Hormuz Traffic
Views of massive tankers and cargo ships navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

On specific flight paths, the sprawling urban density of the Mumbai metropolitan region is visible to the south.
Deccan Traps
Ancient volcanic basalt formations characterized by distinct flat-topped hills and mesas.
Vaitarna Reservoirs
Large bodies of water and dams that sparkle amidst the rugged Deccan terrain.
The right side is excellent for evening flights as you can watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea.

In winter months, keep an eye out for the distinct 'step' topography of the Deccan Plateau which is highly visible in the clear morning light.
