Search flights from AHB to ADE
Tihama Coastal Plain
The vast, sandy coastal strip that runs alongside the Red Sea, visible for much of the flight duration.
Red Sea Horizon
Deep blue waters contrasting with the pale desert sands, with cargo ships often visible in the distance.
Jebel Shamsan
The massive, ancient volcanic crater that forms the backdrop of Aden, seen clearly during the descent.
Aden Harbor
Aerial view of one of the world's greatest natural harbors and the bustling port city built into a volcano.
Sit on the right for the most iconic landing experience. To avoid the harsh desert glare, mid-to-late afternoon flights are best as the sun begins to set over the Red Sea, casting long shadows across the volcanic ridges of Aden.

Asir Mountains
Dramatic views of the high-altitude peaks and green terraces surrounding Abha shortly after takeoff.
Ancient Stone Villages
Spot traditional Yemeni architecture and terraced farming on the steep slopes of the Sarawat range.
High Plateaus
Expansive views of the high desert terrain and rugged valleys of the Yemeni interior.
Morning flights are ideal for this side to catch the sun illuminating the terraced mountainsides. Watch for the stark contrast between the lush peaks near Abha and the more arid plateaus as you head south into Yemen.
