Manama Skyline
Aerial views of the Bahrain Financial Harbour and the Pearl-Bahrain islands shortly after takeoff.
The Dead Sea
The lowest point on Earth, visible as a vibrant blue and turquoise expanse amidst the stark desert landscape.
Jerusalem & Judean Hills
The golden-hued ancient city and the rolling hills of the West Bank are clearly visible on the approach to the coast.
Tel Aviv Coastline
A beautiful view of the high-rise buildings and sandy beaches where the Levant meets the Mediterranean.
Larnaca Salt Lake
During the final approach into LCA, look for the expansive salt lake and the historic Hala Sultan Tekke mosque.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while photographing the Dead Sea. This side also provides the most dramatic views of the Israeli coastline during the transition from land to sea. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing.

An-Nafud Desert
Vast stretches of reddish sand dunes and circular irrigation patterns in northern Saudi Arabia.
Sea of Galilee
The heart-shaped freshwater lake in northern Israel, visible in the distance on clear days.
Mount Hermon
The highest peak in the region, often capped with snow during the winter and spring months.
Mediterranean Shipping
Vessels traversing the eastern Mediterranean towards the Port of Limassol and the Suez Canal.
Kyrenia Mountain Range
The rugged 'Five Finger' mountains of northern Cyprus visible as the plane descends toward the island.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. It offers better views of the northern Galilee region and the snow-capped peaks of the Anti-Lebanon mountains during winter. If the plane circles before landing, you may get a panoramic view of the entire Cypriot panhandle.
