Beirut Cityscape
Aerial view of Beirut's dense urban sprawl and the Mediterranean coastline immediately after takeoff.
Nile Delta & Cairo
Visual of the lush green Nile Delta transitioning into the sprawling megalopolis of Cairo and the Great Pyramids.
Lake Chad
Views of the shrinking but ecologically vital Lake Chad at the intersection of Niger, Chad, and Nigeria.
Jos Plateau
Dramatic rocky outcrops and cooler green landscapes of central Nigeria's high altitude plateau.
Lagos Lagoon
The expansive water system and the Third Mainland Bridge as you descend into Murtala Muhammed Airport.
Book a window seat on the left for departures before noon to avoid direct glare while viewing the Nile Valley. During the dry season (Harmattan), visibility over the Sahara can be hazy, so mid-morning flights are best for higher sun angles that reveal terrain textures.

Mediterranean Horizon
Unobstructed views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea and the sunset horizon if flying late afternoon.
Great Sand Seas
Massive undulating sand dunes of the Libyan and Saharan deserts stretching to the horizon.
AĆÆr Mountains
The dark, volcanic massifs of the AĆÆr Mountains in Niger, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding sand.
The Niger River
The winding path of the mighty Niger River as the flight enters southern Nigerian airspace.
Gulf of Guinea
Views of the Atlantic Ocean and the many cargo ships anchored off the coast of Lagos during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic during the final leg. If traveling during the Harmattan season (Dec-Feb), the right side may offer clearer views of the desert's volcanic features which sit further west of the typical flight path.
