The route passes northwest over the Deccan plateau, then over the arid terrain of Maharashtra and Gujarat, crossing the Rann of Kutch salt marshes and the Gulf of Kutch, then over the Arabian Sea and the coast of Pakistan's Sindh and Balochistan provinces, before crossing into the Persian Gulf region over Oman and the UAE coast toward Qatar. The Rann of Kutch is a particularly striking feature — a vast white salt flat visible from cruise altitude.
