Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the rugged Makran coastline, the dramatic fjords of the Musandam Peninsula, and the unique geological formations of the Persian Gulf approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Kirthar Mountain Range

Dramatic limestone ridges and valleys in southwestern Pakistan that create a layered desert landscape.

🏜️

Makran Coastal Range

Stunning 'Lunar' landscapes featuring mud volcanoes and weathered rock formations along the Baluchistan coast.

🏔️

Musandam Peninsula

Often called the 'Norway of Arabia,' these sharp, jagged mountain fjords jutting into the Strait of Hormuz are spectacular.

🚢

Strait of Hormuz

Watch for the heavy density of oil tankers navigating one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints.

🌉

King Fahd Causeway

Upon approach to Bahrain, see the massive bridge connecting the island nation to Saudi Arabia.

The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Request a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Musandam fjords. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you (to the south), illuminating the orange hues of the Makran cliffs and the turquoise waters of the Gulf.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌾

Indus River Delta

The intricate network of the Indus River meandering through the plains of Sindh before meeting the Arabian Sea.

⚓

Karachi Skyline

A distant view of Pakistan's largest city and the busy Port of Karachi as the flight leaves the mainland.

🏙️

UAE Coastal Horizon

On clear days, the distant glittering skylines of Dubai and Sharjah may be visible across the Gulf of Oman.

🏝️

Sir Abu Nu’ayr Island

A striking circular salt-dome island located in the middle of the Persian Gulf, known for its red soil.

Sit on the left if you prefer looking south toward the open Arabian Sea. On daytime flights, the glare can be intense over the water, so bring sunglasses. This side is better for spotting the sprawling urban landscape of Karachi during the initial cruise phase.
