AMM → BEY
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Mediterranean descent and provides clear views of the iconic Beirut coastline and southern mountain ranges.
Jordan Rift Valley
View the northern part of the historic rift valley that forms the natural border between Jordan and the West Bank.
Mount Hermon
The highest point in the region, featuring snow-capped peaks that remain visible for much of the flight northward.
Mediterranean Horizon
As the plane banks for its final approach, you get an expansive view of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Raouche Rocks
Look down for the famous Pigeon Rocks of Beirut as the aircraft lines up with the coastal runway.
For the most atmospheric views, choose a late afternoon flight to see the sun setting over the Mediterranean. During winter and spring, keep an eye out for the heavy snow cover on Mount Hermon to the west.
Amman Skyline
Capture the unique white-stone architecture and the seven hills of the Jordanian capital during the initial climb.
Bekaa Valley
A lush green corridor of agricultural land situated between the Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges.
Mount Sannine
One of the highest and most scenic peaks of the Lebanon mountain range, often covered in mist or snow.
Baalbek Region
Depending on the specific flight corridor, you may spot the area surrounding the ancient Roman temple complex.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the Bekaa Valley. It is also better for spotting the dense urban sprawl of the northern Beirut suburbs.
