BEY → ACC
Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Kotoka International Airport (Accra)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the Mediterranean coastline at departure, the lush expanse of the Nile Delta, and the classic golden dunes of the Sahara before hitting the Atlantic coast.
Beirut Coastline
Panoramic views of the Beirut peninsula and the Mediterranean shore during ascent.
Nile Delta
The vibrant green fan where the Nile meets the sea, contrasting sharply with the desert.
Sahara Sand Seas
Endless rolling dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental stretching across the horizon.
Air Mountains
Stark, dark mountain massifs in Niger that provide a lunar-like landscape view.
Gulf of Guinea
The sparkling Atlantic coastline of Togo and Ghana during the final descent into Accra.
Sit on the right for the best sunsets on afternoon departures. The Nile Delta is a major highlight—look for Alexandria's coastline. During the final approach to ACC, you will often get a beautiful view of the West African coastline and the Port of Tema.
Levantine Basin
Deep blue views of the eastern Mediterranean shortly after takeoff from Beirut.
Tibesti Mountains
Rugged volcanic peaks rising from the Saharan floor in northern Chad.
Lake Chad
The historic, vast freshwater lake at the intersection of Niger, Nigeria, and Chad.
Jos Plateau
Dramatic granite outcroppings and greener highlands in central Nigeria.
Abuja Outskirts
Aerial glimpses of Nigeria's capital city and its surrounding urban sprawl.
Choose this side on morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best view of the central Saharan mountain ranges and the transition from desert to the lush Nigerian interior. Watch for the dramatic change in soil color from orange to deep red.
