Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Danakil Depression

Views of the Afar Triangle, one of the lowest and hottest places on Earth, characterized by salt pans and volcanic activity.

🏖️

Red Sea Coastline

A long stretch of turquoise coral reefs and deep blue waters along the Eritrean and Sudanese coasts.

🏔️

Sinai Mountains

The majestic, jagged peaks of the Sinai Peninsula, including the area around Mount Catherine.

🧂

The Dead Sea

The world's lowest point on land, recognizable by its distinct shoreline and shimmering blue water between Jordan and Israel/Palestine.

⛰️

Mount Hermon

The snow-capped peaks of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range visible during the final descent into Beirut.

🏢

Beirut Skyline

A panoramic view of the 'Paris of the Middle East' and its Mediterranean coastline during the landing approach.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Red Sea. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic transition from the desert to the Mediterranean coast.

⛰️

Ethiopian Highlands

Dramatic views of the rugged, high-altitude plateaus and deep gorges of northern Ethiopia shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Eastern Desert

The vast, arid expanses of the Egyptian Eastern Desert featuring unique rock formations and wind-swept sands.

🌊

Nile River Valley

If the flight path tracks west, the lush green ribbon of the Nile stands in stark contrast to the surrounding Sahara.

🏙️

Greater Cairo

On the descent path, the sprawling urban landscape of Egypt's capital may be visible in the distance to the west.

⛴️

Port Said and Suez

The northern entrance of the Suez Canal where dozens of cargo ships wait to enter the Mediterranean Sea.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On evening flights, the sunset over the Sahara provides a stunning orange and purple backdrop to the Nile valley.
