Which side of the plane to sit from Sialkot Airport (Sialkot) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dramatic geological formations of the Makran coastline and the most iconic views of the Dubai skyline and Burj Khalifa during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Thar Desert Edge

The golden hues of the desert sands visible on the horizon during the mid-flight segment.

⛰️

Makran Coastline

Incredible views of the rugged, moon-like cliffs and unique rock formations of the Balochistan coast.

🏔️

Hajar Mountains

The dark, jagged peaks of the northern UAE and Oman as the plane crosses the Musandam Peninsula.

🏢

Burj Khalifa

A stunning perspective of the world's tallest building as the plane aligns for landing at DXB.

🏙️

Sheikh Zayed Road

The futuristic corridor of skyscrapers that defines Dubai's famous modern skyline.

This is the 'money side' for a Dubai arrival. Book a window seat on the right for the best chance to see the skyline. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the Makran cliffs and the glass towers of Dubai. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins over the Hajar Mountains.

🌾

Punjab Heartland

Expansive views of the fertile agricultural grid of central Pakistan shortly after takeoff.

💧

Indus River Meanders

The massive Indus River winding through the landscape of Sindh as the flight heads south.

🏙️

Karachi Periphery

Distances views of the sprawling urban landscape and the busy Port Qasim area.

🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

The deep blue transition as the aircraft leaves the Pakistani coast for the open water.

🏝️

The World Islands

Depending on the approach pattern, a chance to see the artificial archipelago off the Dubai coast.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning departures from Sialkot. This side is excellent for observing the vast Indus Delta. To avoid the wing obscuring the river views, choose a seat in the forward or very rear sections of the cabin.
