ASW → JED
Which side of the plane to sit from Aswan International Airport (Aswan) to King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the sprawling waters of Lake Nasser immediately after takeoff and the vibrant coral formations along the Red Sea coastline during the crossing.
Search flights from ASW to JED
Lake Nasser
The massive blue reservoir stretching south into Sudan, creating a stunning contrast with the surrounding desert.
Red Sea Reefs
Intricate turquoise coral structures and shallow lagoons visible through the clear waters near the coasts.
Maritime Lanes
Aerial views of cargo ships and tankers traversing the busy global shipping lanes of the Red Sea.
King Fahd's Fountain
The world's tallest fountain, often visible on the Jeddah waterfront when approaching the airport from the south.
The premier choice for coastal views. During the afternoon, the sun illuminates the Red Sea reefs perfectly. Keep a close watch during the final descent for the Jeddah Corniche and the iconic fountain, especially if the flight path approaches from the south or west.

The Nile Valley
A stark, verdant line cutting through the golden sands of the Egyptian Sahara visible during the initial climb.
Red Sea Hills
Jagged high-altitude desert peaks in Egypt that exhibit dramatic geological textures and colors.
Aswan High Dam
A brief glimpse of this engineering marvel that controls the flow of the Nile, situated just north of the lake.
Hejaz Scenery
The arid and dramatic landscape of the Saudi Arabian interior as the plane banks toward the Jeddah coast.
Opt for this side on morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a clearer view of the Egyptian Eastern Desert and the rugged Hejaz mountain range in Saudi Arabia. Watch for the sharp contrast between the green Nile banks and the desert floor immediately after takeoff.
