Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Dead Sea, the stunning blue waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, and the rugged coastline of the Red Sea during the descent into Jeddah.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Gulf of Iskenderun

The sparkling blue waters of the northeastern Mediterranean immediately after departure.

🧂

The Dead Sea

A clear view of the world's lowest point, featuring white salt crusts along the turquoise shoreline.

🏝️

Gulf of Aqaba

The narrow, deep blue waterway separating the Sinai Peninsula from the Arabian coast.

⛰️

Hejaz Mountains

Rugged, dark mountain peaks that run parallel to the Red Sea, offering dramatic shadows at sunset.

🪸

Red Sea Reefs

Intricate coral reef patterns and turquoise lagoons visible during the final approach into Jeddah.

The right side is superior for water features. Look for the Dead Sea about 45-60 minutes into the flight. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun setting over the Red Sea, but be aware of window glare. During descent into JED, keep your camera ready for the coral reefs.

🏙️

Adana Cityscape

Aerial view of the Seyhan River and the historic stone bridge shortly after takeoff from ADA.

⛰️

Anti-Lebanon Range

Dramatic mountain ridges along the Syrian-Lebanese border visible during the initial cruise phase.

🏜️

Syrian Desert

Vast, arid landscapes and ancient caravan routes stretching toward the eastern horizon.

🌋

Harrat Rahat

Massive black basaltic volcanic fields in Saudi Arabia, creating a stark contrast with the desert sand.

Sit on the left if you want to see the sprawling desert landscapes and the volcanic fields of northern Saudi Arabia. Best for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun glare.
