AMM → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the Dead Sea's southern basin and a distant perspective of the historic Jerusalem skyline during the descent.
The Dead Sea
Witness the stark turquoise waters and salt formations of the world's lowest point shortly after departure.
Judean Desert
Dramatic views of the beige, rocky wilderness and deep canyons stretching toward the horizon.
Jerusalem
On clear days, the dense urban sprawl of the Holy City and the Old City walls are visible to the south.
Rishon LeZion
The expanding urban landscape of central Israel becomes clear as the plane aligns with the runway.
Sit toward the middle or back of the cabin to keep the wing from blocking the view of the Dead Sea. Morning flights provide the best illumination for photography of the Judean hills without the glare of the afternoon sun.
Amman Skyline
A great view of the white limestone architecture and rolling hills of Jordan's capital during takeoff.
Jordan Valley
The green agricultural strip surrounding the Jordan River provides a sharp contrast to the desert.
Samarian Hills
Rugged northern terrain featuring terraced hillsides and traditional villages.
Tel Aviv Metro
The modern skyscrapers and dense metropolitan area of Tel Aviv and the Sharon plain during final approach.
Look for the winding path of the Jordan River. During evening flights, the right side captures the city lights of northern Israel and the coastline beautifully.
