Search flights from BEY to CAI
Beirut Coastline
Stunning immediate views of the Beirut Corniche and the Lebanese mountains rising behind the city.
Suez Canal
The distinct line of the canal and container ships waiting in the Mediterranean can often be spotted.
North Sinai Dunes
The arid, golden landscapes of the Sinai Peninsula meeting the coastal waters of Egypt.
Great Pyramids of Giza
Depending on the air traffic pattern, the Pyramids are frequently visible on the right during the final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for the best landmarks. For the best chance to see the Pyramids, sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view during the bank into Cairo International. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Suez Canal and the Egyptian coast.
Book Hotels in Cairo
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea for the majority of the cruise phase.
Nile Delta Greenery
The striking transition from the blue sea to the lush, fertile green plains of the Delta region.
New Cairo Developments
Views of the rapidly expanding modern urban clusters and satellite cities east of Cairo.
Choose the left side for a more tranquil view of the open sea and the contrasting agricultural patterns of the Delta. This side is preferable during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight reflecting off the water.
