BEY → AMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional view of the Levant's coastal geography, the winding Jordan River, and the dramatic northern shores of the Dead Sea during the descent.
Mediterranean Coastline
Panoramic views of the Lebanese and Palestinian coastlines with deep blue waters contrasting against the urban centers.
Sea of Galilee
A clear view of the freshwater lake (Lake Tiberias) nestled in the Jordan Rift Valley.
Jordan Valley
The lush, green strip of the Ghor region, highlighting the contrast between irrigated land and the surrounding desert.
The Dead Sea
The northern tip of the world's lowest point, often visible with its distinct turquoise and salt-streaked waters.
Judean Hills
The rugged, rolling terrain to the west of the Jordan River, showcasing ancient geological formations.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for this short flight. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley illuminated by the setting sun, which creates dramatic shadows and colors in the desert canyons.
Mount Lebanon Range
Stunning views of the limestone peaks and deep valleys of Lebanon immediately after takeoff from Beirut.
Bekaa Valley
The fertile high plateau of Lebanon, visible as a patchwork of agricultural fields nestled between mountain ranges.
Jordanian Plateau
The transition from Mediterranean greenery to the arid, high-altitude desert landscapes of Northern Jordan.
Amman Cityscape
The expansive, white-stone urban sprawl of Jordan's capital as the plane aligns for its final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is best for viewing the snow-capped peaks of the Lebanese mountains during the winter months.
