Search flights from AMM to OSM
Amman Departure
Aerial views of the white-stone sprawl of Jordan's capital as the plane climbs northeast.
Euphrates River Crossing
The winding silver thread of the Euphrates as it carves through the Iraqi desert landscapes.
Nineveh Plains
A mosaic of agricultural fields that turn vibrantly green during the winter and spring months.
The Tigris River
Extensive views of the mighty Tigris River as it snakes through the heart of Mosul.
Zagros Foothills
Distant views of the snow-capped Kurdish mountains to the northeast, visible on clear days.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to capture the sun illuminating the Tigris River without harsh glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the arid desert to the fertile river basin about 15 minutes before landing.
