Which side of the plane to sit from Sialkot Airport (Sialkot) to King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the intricate Indus River system, the vast orange dunes of the Rub' al Khali, and a better angle of the Holy City of Makkah and the Red Sea upon descent.
Indus River Basin
Witness the sprawling, silver-threaded channels of the Indus River as it cuts through the plains of Sindh.
Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter)
Fly over the world's largest contiguous sand desert, featuring massive star-shaped dunes and shifting sands.
Makkah Clock Tower
On a clear day or night, the iconic Abraj Al-Bait Clock Tower is often visible in the distance during the descent into Jeddah.
Jeddah South Shore
The final approach provides views of the expanding urban landscape and industrial port of southern Jeddah.
For night flights, sit on the left to see the bright glow of Makkah. During day flights, the golden hour provides incredible contrast over the Saudi desert dunes. Window seats behind the wing are best to avoid engine heat haze.
Makran Coastal Range
Rugged, dramatic mountain formations and 'moon-like' landscapes along the southwestern coast of Pakistan.
Gulf of Oman
Spot the busy shipping lanes filled with tankers and cargo ships moving toward the Strait of Hormuz.
Harrat Rahat
View the massive basaltic volcanic fields and ancient lava flows in the western Arabian Peninsula.
King Fahd's Fountain
On final approach, you may see the world's tallest fountain spraying water into the air at the edge of the Red Sea.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. It also offers a better view of the Jeddah Corniche and the Red Sea coastline if the plane approaches from the north.
