Beirut Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Beirut skyline and the rising slopes of Mount Lebanon immediately after takeoff.
The Dead Sea
A stunning aerial view of the turquoise waters and salt formations of the world's lowest point on land.
Hijaz Mountains
Dramatic, dark volcanic mountain ranges that run parallel to the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast.
Danakil Depression
One of the most extreme environments on earth, featuring colorful salt flats and active volcanic craters near the border.
Addis Ababa Skyline
A panoramic view of the rapidly growing Ethiopian capital as the aircraft descends into Bole International Airport.
For day flights, the left side offers the best lighting to see the details of the Rift Valley. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Dead Sea isn't obstructed during the early stages of the flight. This side is particularly spectacular during morning departures as the sun illuminates the mountains to the east.
