Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Nile Delta, the engineering marvel of the Suez Canal, and the iconic Doha skyline during the final descent into Hamad International Airport.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Mediterranean Coastline

Aerial views of the Tunisian coast and the beautiful Gulf of Gabes shortly after departure.

🌿

Nile Delta

The dramatic transition from the harsh Sahara desert to the vibrant green agricultural fan of northern Egypt.

🚢

Suez Canal

Spot the line of container ships waiting to transit this vital global maritime shortcut.

⛰️

Sinai Peninsula

The rugged, reddish-brown mountain ranges of the Sinai, including the historic Mount Sinai area.

🏙️

Doha Skyline

The stunning skyscrapers of West Bay and the circular luxury of The Pearl as the plane banks for landing.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Since this is an eastbound flight, a morning departure will have the sun on the right, making the left side better for photography without glare. On arrival, the Left side is almost always the prime spot for seeing the Doha Corniche and Lusail City.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Grand Erg Oriental

Vast fields of orange sand dunes stretching across the Algerian and Tunisian borders.

💧

The Nile River

The winding green ribbon of the Nile cutting through the vast beige landscape of Upper Egypt.

🌊

Red Sea Crossing

A beautiful view of the deep blue waters and coral reefs as the flight leaves Africa for the Arabian Peninsula.

🏔️

Sarawat Mountains

The craggy, high-altitude peaks of western Saudi Arabia that separate the coast from the central plateau.

⏳

Arabian Interior

The mesmerizing textures of the Najd region, featuring isolated oases and dramatic rock formations.

If you are flying during the late afternoon, the right side will provide a spectacular sunset over the Saharan and Arabian deserts. Be aware that the sun will be directly hitting this side for most of the daytime flight, which can make the cabin warm and cause significant glare on your windows.
