AMM → JED
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular sequence of landmarks including the Dead Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the turquoise coral reefs of the Red Sea coast.
The Dead Sea
The lowest point on Earth, visible immediately after takeoff from Amman.
Sinai Peninsula
Across the Gulf of Aqaba, the jagged peaks of the Sinai mountains are visible.
Gulf of Aqaba
The deep blue waters where Jordan, Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia converge.
Red Sea Reefs
Breathtaking turquoise coral reef systems stretching along the Saudi coastline.
Jeddah Waterfront
A view of the King Fahd's Fountain and the evolving Jeddah skyline during descent.
For the best experience, sit on the right for the Dead Sea view right after takeoff. On evening flights, this side provides a stunning sunset over the Red Sea, though window glare can be intense.
Hijaz Mountains
A rugged volcanic mountain range that runs parallel to the Red Sea coast.
Arabian Desert
Vast stretches of the golden Nafud desert and ancient trade routes.
Al-Ula Region
Distances views of the dramatic sandstone formations and the historical Al-Ula valley.
Madinah Province
The sprawling outskirts of the holy city and its surrounding volcanic plains.
Choose this side during morning flights to enjoy the illuminated desert landscape without the glare of the sun. It is ideal for those interested in the geological formations of the Arabian Shield.
