Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Muscat to Doha. The left side captures the dramatic Al Hajar Mountains on departure, then tracks the Arabian Peninsula coastline through the flight, and offers views of the Qatar interior on descent. The right side has the better Doha landing view, but the mountain scenery on departure is the most visually distinctive feature of this route.

During takeoff from Seeb International (MCT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Muscat's runways (08/26) mean a westbound departure toward Doha puts the Al Hajar Mountains on the left (south) side as the aircraft climbs and turns northwest. The rugged limestone ridgeline of the Western Hajar is clearly visible from altitude, with the urban sprawl of Muscat and the Gulf of Oman coastline also in view to the left. Notable sights include: Al Hajar Mountains (Western Hajar ridgeline), Gulf of Oman coastline, Muscat urban area and port district, Batinah coastal plain.

When landing at Doha International (DOH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Doha's main arrival runway (34L/16R) typically sees aircraft approaching from the south over the Gulf, putting the Doha city skyline and the West Bay district on the right side during final approach from the south. The shallow turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf with their distinctive sandbar patterns are also visible on the right. Notable sights include: Doha West Bay skyline, Persian Gulf shallow turquoise shallows and sandbars, Qatar peninsula coastline, Doha corniche waterfront.

The flight from Seeb International (MCT) to Doha International (DOH) takes Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The flight crosses the Gulf of Oman briefly before tracking northwest over the UAE coast near Abu Dhabi emirate, then crosses the shallow Persian Gulf. The Gulf waters here are notably shallow and turquoise, with visible sandbanks. The UAE coastline and the flat sabkha salt flats of the Abu Dhabi coast are visible on the left side during the mid-flight portion.
