BAH → KRT
Which side of the plane to sit from Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain) to Khartoum International Airport (Khartoum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior for this route as it provides a clear view of the King Fahd Causeway exiting Bahrain, the dramatic Hijaz mountain ranges of Saudi Arabia, and the world-famous confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers upon arrival in Khartoum.
Search flights from BAH to KRT
King Fahd Causeway
The spectacular 25-kilometer bridge system connecting the island of Bahrain to mainland Saudi Arabia.
Hijaz Mountains
Rugged, dark volcanic mountains and high-altitude peaks that run parallel to the Red Sea coast.
Red Sea Reefs
Intricate turquoise coral reef patterns visible near the Sudanese coast and Port Sudan area.
The Nile Confluence
The 'Al-Mogran', the specific point where the distinct Blue and White Nile rivers meet to form the main Nile.
The Right Side is essential for seeing the Nile confluence, which is the highlight of the trip. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography of the Saudi mountains and the Sudanese coastline. Look out the window roughly 10-15 minutes before landing for the river views.
Book Hotels in Khartoum
Manama Cityscape
Aerial views of Bahrain's modern skyscrapers and the coastline of the Persian Gulf immediately after takeoff.
Ad-Dahna Desert
A vast corridor of reddish-gold sand dunes stretching across the central Arabian Peninsula.
Red Sea Crossing
The transition from the arid Arabian landscape to the deep blue waters of the Red Sea.
The Blue Nile
As you descend into Sudan, look for the darker, silt-heavy waters of the Blue Nile winding from the east.
Sit on the left if you are on an afternoon flight to avoid the harshest sun glare. During the descent into Khartoum, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the lush green banks and the surrounding desert terrain.
