Konarak Peninsula
A striking T-shaped hammerhead peninsula that hosts the airport and the local Iranian fishing fleet.
Al Hajar Mountains
The 'Rocky Mountains' of the Arabian Peninsula, showing dramatic limestone peaks that rise over 2,000 meters.
Arid Wadis
The dry riverbeds and deep canyons that cut through the Omani landscape, visible during the final descent.
Sohar Industrial Zone
In the distance to the northwest, you can often see the massive industrial development along the Omani coastline.
Choose this side for morning flights for the best lighting on the mountains. Be sure to look out the window immediately after takeoff from ZBR to see the unique geological transition from the Iranian plateau to the sea.
Book Hotels in Muscat
Gulf of Oman
Vast stretches of sapphire-colored water that connect the Arabian Sea with the Persian Gulf.
International Shipping
Excellent vantage point to spot massive oil tankers and cargo ships moving through the critical maritime corridor.
Mutrah Harbor
The historic heart of Muscat, featuring traditional dhows, Portuguese-built forts, and the iconic corniche.
Qurum Beachfront
A view of the long, sandy coastline and the modern, white-washed architectural style of Muscat's residential districts.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. As the plane enters Omani airspace, look for the contrast between the turquoise coastal waters and the urban sprawl of the capital city.
