Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the Dead Sea shortly after departure, followed by the dramatic skylines of the UAE and the rugged peaks of the Omani mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Dead Sea

Visible shortly after takeoff, look for the unique turquoise evaporation ponds and salt formations at the lowest point on Earth.

🏙️

Dubai and UAE Skyline

On typical flight paths, you can spot the Burj Khalifa and the sprawling artificial islands of the UAE coast.

⛰️

Hajar Mountains

Rugged, jagged mountain ranges stretching through Oman, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding desert.

🏙️

Mumbai Urban Landscape

During the final descent into BOM, this side often offers views of the dense northern suburbs and the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

🕌

Muscat Coastline

As the plane exits the Arabian Peninsula, the white architecture of Oman's capital is often visible against the dark mountains.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On morning flights from TLV, the sun will be on the right, making the left side ideal for photography without glare. During the final approach into Mumbai (usually Runway 27), the left side provides the most iconic views of the city's vast urban sprawl.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏜️

Negev Desert Craters

Look for the massive Makhtesh Ramon, a unique geological 'erosion circus' located in southern Israel.

💧

Gulf of Aqaba

Stunning views of the deep blue rift valley waters where Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia meet.

⏳

Rub' al Khali

The 'Empty Quarter' offers mesmerizing, endless patterns of orange sand dunes across the Saudi interior.

🌅

Arabian Sea Sunset

On late afternoon departures, this side features spectacular sunsets over the open ocean for the final half of the journey.

🚢

Mumbai Harbor

Depending on the approach pattern, you may see the vast shipping lanes and tankers anchored off the coast of India.

The right side is best for those who love desert geography and geology. Be aware that the sun will be directly hitting this side for most of the daytime eastbound flight, which can make the cabin hot and photos difficult due to window glare. Keep your window shade down during the crossing of the Saudi desert to stay cool.
