Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a breathtaking vantage point of the Arabian Sea coastline, featuring dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and the iconic Masirah Island.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Arabian Sea Coastline

A stunning visual contrast where the deep blue of the Indian Ocean meets the stark, white sandy beaches of central Oman.

🏝️

Masirah Island

Oman's largest island appears as a massive, rugged landmass surrounded by coral reefs mid-way through the flight.

⚓

Duqm Port

Observe the massive scale of the Duqm industrial development and its unique coastal rock formations from cruising altitude.

🏙️

Muscat Shoreline

An exceptional view of the Muscat coastline, including the Al Bustan area and the jagged cliffs of Old Muscat during the approach.

Choose the right side for the most iconic Omani scenery. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the turquoise coastal waters without the glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight to capture the distinctive shape of Masirah Island.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Jabal Samhan

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep canyons of the Dhofar mountain range immediately after takeoff from Salalah.

🏜️

Jiddat al-Harasis

A vast, desolate stony desert plateau that is home to the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary, visible as an endless expanse of ochre.

🏔️

Al Hajar Mountains

The jagged, dark peaks of the Western Hajar range become visible on the left as the aircraft begins its descent into Muscat.

Sit on the left for a sunset view on evening flights, as the sun dips behind the desert horizon. This side is also better for spotting the unique geology of the Omani interior and the rugged foothills of the Hajar mountains during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
