Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular crossing of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, including views of Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus, and the vibrant blue waters of Lake Van in Turkey.
Syrian Desert
Vast golden dunes and unique volcanic basalt fields near the Jordan-Syria border.
Lake Van
The striking turquoise waters of Turkey's largest saline lake surrounded by high peaks.
Greater Caucasus
Breathtaking views of the massive snow-clad range that forms the natural border between Georgia and Russia.
Mount Elbrus
The twin-peaked dormant volcano and highest mountain in Europe is a major highlight on this side.
Oka River
Scenic meandering loops of the river as you enter the Moscow Oblast for final approach.
This side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best view of the Caucasus and Mount Elbrus, ensure your flight is during daylight hours; late morning provides the most clarity. Use a polarising filter for photos to capture the intense blue of Lake Van.
Dead Sea
Stunning views of the lowest point on Earth and the Jordan Rift Valley during the initial climb.
Damascus
The sprawling ancient capital of Syria is often visible on the horizon shortly after takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, craggy limestone peaks of the Anatolian plateau in Southern Turkey.
Black Sea Coast
Expansive views of the deep blue waters when crossing the northern Turkish coastline.
Central Russian Upland
Lush green forests and agricultural patchwork as the plane descends toward Moscow.
Choose this side if you want to see the Dead Sea during departure from Amman. Early morning flights offer the best lighting over the Levant. Keep an eye out for the dramatic transition from desert landscapes to the forested Russian plains.
