Which side of the plane to sit from Sialkot Airport (Sialkot) to King Khaled International Airport (Riyadh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse visual experience, featuring the dramatic Makran mountain range in Pakistan, views of the UAE coastline, and the expansive industrial landscapes of the Saudi oil fields.
Search flights from SKT to RUH
Makran Coastal Range
Unique, moon-like rock formations and rugged mountain ridges along the Balochistan coast of Pakistan.
UAE Skyline
Distant but visible views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Sharjah and Dubai.
Ghawar Oil Field
The world's largest conventional oil field; look for industrial grids and gas flares visible as bright spots.
Riyadh Approach
A clear view of the Kingdom Centre and Al Faisaliyah Center as the plane descends into King Khaled International.
For the best experience, choose the right side on a daytime flight to see the striking contrast between the Makran mountains and the sea. If flying at night, this side is superior for spotting the glowing infrastructure of the Eastern Province oil fields and the brilliant lights of the UAE coastal cities.

Arabian Sea Expanse
Vast turquoise waters as you cross from the Pakistani coast toward the Arabian Peninsula.
Rub' al Khali
The edge of the Empty Quarter, featuring massive, undulating sand dunes in deep orange hues.
Al-Hasa Oasis
Glimpses of one of the world's largest natural oases with millions of date palms near the Saudi coast.
The left side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the rhythmic patterns of the desert dunes as you enter Saudi airspace; the lighting at sunset creates dramatic shadows over the Rub' al Khali.
