ALGAMM

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Saharan desert to the lush Nile Delta, followed by views of the Suez Canal, the Sinai Peninsula, and the unique geography of the Dead Sea.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Atlas Mountains

Rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Tell Atlas range shortly after takeoff from Algiers.

🌿

Nile Delta Contrast

The striking boundary where the golden Saharan sands meet the vibrant green agricultural lands of the Nile.

🚢

Suez Canal

The iconic maritime artery connecting the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, often filled with visible cargo ships.

⛰️

Sinai Peninsula

Breathtaking views of the jagged, reddish-brown mountain ranges and desert valleys of the Sinai.

🧂

The Dead Sea

A stunning view of the lowest point on Earth, featuring turquoise waters and white salt formations during the descent.

🏜️

Jordanian Badia

The vast, dramatic desert landscapes leading toward the Amman plateau as the flight enters Jordanian airspace.

Secure a window seat on the right for a front-row seat to the world's most famous geographic landmarks. For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when viewing the Nile and Suez. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing for the Dead Sea, as the descent offers a perfect angle of the salt-crusted shores.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

Vast, deep-blue expanses of the Mediterranean Sea for most of the mid-flight duration.

🏝️

Distant European Peaks

On clear days, the distant southern mountains of Sicily or Crete may be visible on the northern horizon.

🏙️

Alexandria Coastline

Aerial view of Egypt's historic northern port city as the plane approaches the Levantine coast.

🌅

Northern Dusk Colors

In late afternoon flights, the left side experiences a softer, cooler light palette across the sea.

The left side is best for passengers who prefer the calming view of the open sea and avoid direct glare during eastbound morning flights. If the flight path takes a northern corridor, you might catch a glimpse of the Greek islands in the far distance. It is generally quieter visually but less eventful than the southern view.
