TRVDMM

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of rugged mountain landscapes, the iconic Musandam Peninsula fjords, and the impressive coastal skylines of the UAE and the Persian Gulf.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Western Ghats

Immediately after takeoff from TRV, view the lush, mist-covered mountain ranges of Kerala.

⛰️

Musandam Peninsula

The dramatic 'Fjords of Arabia' where the mountains of Oman meet the sea in sharp, jagged peaks.

🏙️

UAE Coastline

Clear views of the urban sprawl and skyscrapers of Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman across the water.

💧

Persian Gulf Shallows

Stunning turquoise and emerald water patterns visible as the flight approaches the shallow Gulf coast.

🌉

King Fahd Causeway

During the final descent into DMM, the massive bridge connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain is often visible.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit here to see the Musandam Peninsula and the UAE skyline. For the best clarity of the Gulf's turquoise waters, a mid-day flight is ideal. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on the opposite (left) side, making the right side perfect for photography without glare.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Arabian Sea Horizon

A vast, uninterrupted view of the deep blue Arabian Sea during the primary cruise phase.

🏜️

Rub' al Khali Fringe

Visuals of the massive sand dunes of the Empty Quarter as the flight enters Arabian airspace.

🏗️

Eastern Province Industry

Aerial views of the massive oil and gas infrastructure and industrial cities of eastern Saudi Arabia.

🌅

Desert Sunset

If on an evening flight, the sun sets over the vast Arabian desert, creating deep orange and purple hues.

Choose this side if you want to avoid direct sunlight on morning flights heading northwest. It offers great views of the desert interior of the Arabian Peninsula. During night flights, look for the bright, concentrated orange flares from gas towers in the oil fields near the coast.
