Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏞️

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

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.
