Makran Coastal Range
Dramatic, Martian-like mountain formations and cliffs along the coast of Balochistan.
Astola Island
A glimpse of Pakistan's first marine protected area in the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
Sharjah Waterfront

Dubai Horizon
On clear days, the silhouette of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline is visible in the distance.
Choose the Right Side for sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' over the Balochistan mountains. During the approach into Sharjah (SHJ), this side typically faces the city, offering views of the lagoons and urban landscape. For night flights, the Right Side is a must to see the expansive, glittering light displays of the Sharjah and Dubai metropolitan areas. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Gwadar for unique geological views.

The complex network of waterways where the Indus River meets the Arabian Sea.
Thar Desert Fringes
The vast golden sands of the eastern desert regions visible shortly after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
The jagged, dark peaks of the eastern UAE range as the aircraft enters Gulf airspace.
The Left Side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides the best view of the Indus River's progression through Sindh. On arrival, expect to see the industrial zones and desert outskirts of the Northern Emirates. Visibility is usually highest during the winter months (November to February) when the air over the plains is clearer.
