Chiltan Mountains
The rugged, limestone peaks surrounding Quetta immediately visible after takeoff.
Kirthar Range
Dramatic folded mountain structures and arid valleys of western Pakistan.
Makran Coastline
The striking transition where the brown desert mountains meet the deep blue of the Arabian Sea.
Hajar Mountains
The jagged, dark peaks of the Northern Emirates and Oman visible during the initial descent.
Sharjah and Dubai Skyline
Expansive views of the city density, with the Burj Khalifa often visible on the horizon during the final approach.
Book an early morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the Hajar Mountains from the east. This side is particularly scenic during the approach into Sharjah, as it typically provides a better angle for city landmarks. Avoid seats directly over the wing to maintain a clear view of the complex geological formations in Balochistan.

Balochistan Plateaus
Vast, empty desert landscapes with unique geological erosion patterns.
Gwadar Port
If the flight path follows the coast, the distinct hammerhead peninsula of Gwadar may be visible.
Gulf of Oman Shipping
Frequent sightings of large oil tankers and cargo ships navigating the busy maritime lanes.
UAE Barrier Islands
Coastal sandbars and small islands near the entrance to the Persian Gulf.
Ajman Coastline
Detailed views of the waterfront developments in the neighboring emirate of Ajman just before landing.
The right side is excellent for viewing the remote, lunar-like landscapes of the Pakistani desert. For afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare and heat through the window. During winter months, visibility is usually much clearer than in the humid, hazy summer.
