Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Jordan Rift Valley and a direct perspective of the Dead Sea's unique shoreline and salt formations.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Gulf of Aqaba

Deep blue waters of the Red Sea meeting the rugged coastline of the Sinai Peninsula.

🏜️

Wadi Araba

The stark, desert valley floor marking the border between Jordan and Israel.

🧂

The Dead Sea

The lowest point on Earth with striking turquoise waters and white salt crusts along the shore.

🏔️

Judean Desert

The rolling, arid hills of the West Bank visible across the narrow sea.

🏛️

Masada Plateau

The ancient Herodian fortress visible on the western cliffs of the Dead Sea.

Book an 'A' or 'B' seat for the best view of the Dead Sea. During morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the western landscape. Watch for the dramatic color change as the desert floor drops significantly below sea level.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏜️

Wadi Rum Periphery

Distant views of the iconic red sandstone mountains and desert expanses of the south.

🏔️

Dana Biosphere

The rugged mountains and deep valleys of Jordan's largest nature reserve.

🏰

Kerak Castle

The massive Crusader fortress perched on a strategic plateau overlooking the valley.

🌊

Wadi Mujib

The 'Grand Canyon of Jordan,' a massive gorge cutting through the highlands.

🏙️

Amman Suburbs

The sprawling white-stone architecture of Jordan's capital during the final approach.

The right side is exceptional for afternoon flights as the setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the Moab mountains and Kerak. This side is better for seeing the high plateau geography and historical fortifications that line the Kings Highway.
