Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior variety of scenery, including the Abu Dhabi skyline, the Suez Canal, the Nile Delta, and the stunning Mediterranean coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Abu Dhabi Skyline

Aerial views of the Corniche and the city's architectural landmarks shortly after takeoff.

🚢

Suez Canal

The iconic maritime shortcut and the dense traffic of cargo ships waiting to transit.

📐

Nile Delta

The massive, lush green triangle of the Delta and the sprawling metropolis of Cairo.

🏖️

Mediterranean Coast

Beautiful views of the turquoise coastline stretching from Alexandria toward Benghazi and Tripoli.

🏔️

Snow-capped Atlas

The majestic northern peaks of the Atlas Mountains, often dusted with snow in winter months.

🌊

Atlantic Coastline

The dramatic meeting of the Sahara and the Atlantic Ocean during the final approach into Casablanca.

The right side is away from the direct sun for most of the flight, providing better lighting for photography. Look out about 3 hours into the flight for the Suez Canal and Cairo. On approach to CMN, if the aircraft loops over the ocean, you may catch a glimpse of the Hassan II Mosque on the shoreline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏜️

Rub' al Khali Edges

Vast, orange-hued sand dunes of the Arabian Peninsula's northern desert reaches.

🌊

Red Sea Crossing

Deep blue waters contrasting sharply with the arid, rocky coastlines of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

🏺

Upper Nile Valley

The thin green ribbon of life and agriculture winding through the stark Egyptian desert.

🐪

Central Sahara

The dramatic and abstract geological formations of the Libyan and Algerian desert interior.

🏔️

High Atlas Slopes

The rugged southern ridges of the Atlas range as the flight enters Moroccan airspace.

Ideal for those who appreciate the stark beauty of desert geomorphology. Early morning departures offer long shadows that define the massive Saharan dunes. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for much of the westbound journey, so keep the window shade partially down to manage heat and glare.
