Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of the Middle East and North Africa, including the Dead Sea, the mountainous Sinai Peninsula, and the dramatic contrast of the Nile River cutting through the Sahara.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Dead Sea

Shortly after takeoff from Amman, view the shimmering, salt-rimmed shores of the lowest point on Earth.

🏔️

Sinai Peninsula

Rugged, jagged mountain peaks and deep desert canyons across the Egyptian wilderness.

🚢

Gulf of Suez

Watch for the concentration of container ships queuing for the southern entrance of the Suez Canal.

🐍

The Nile River

A sharp, vibrant green line of vegetation that separates the fertile valley from the surrounding desert sands.

🏜️

Great Sand Sea

Intricate, wind-swept dune patterns stretching across the eastern Sahara toward the Libyan border.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Dead Sea. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight for the best aerial views of the Jordan Valley. During sunset flights, the desert dunes of Libya are illuminated in deep oranges and reds, creating incredible photographic opportunities.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Nile Delta

The sprawling green triangle where the Nile meets the Mediterranean, featuring dense urban clusters and farmland.

🏖️

Egyptian Coastline

The turquoise waters of the Mediterranean near Marsa Matruh and the historic site of El Alamein.

📉

Qattara Depression

The vast, desolate sinkhole in Northwest Egypt that sits well below sea level.

🌊

Gulf of Sidra

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft follows the Libyan coast.

🏙️

Tripoli Harbor

As the plane descends into Tripoli, view the historic Mediterranean port and the growing city skyline.

The right side is best for midday flights to enjoy the vibrant turquoise hues of the Mediterranean Sea. If the flight path tracks closer to the coast, you will have a clear view of the transition from the Saharan plateau to the sea. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to see the Qattara Depression, which is a massive geographic anomaly.
