Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Dead Sea and the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean coastline to the stark volcanic landscapes of Saudi Arabia.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Levantine Coastline

Clear views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the coastal cities of Sidon and Tyre.

💧

The Dead Sea

A magnificent view of the world's lowest point, featuring turquoise waters and white salt crusts.

🏜️

Wadi Rum Fringe

Distal views of the iconic red sandstone mountains and desert valleys near the Jordan-Saudi border.

🌋

Harrat Khaybar

Incredible aerial views of ancient black volcanic lava fields and craters on approach to Madinah.

Choose the right side for the iconic Dead Sea view, which is the highlight of the trip; look down about 20-30 minutes after takeoff. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photographing the volcanic fields (Harrat) of Saudi Arabia, as the low sun creates dramatic shadows on the craters.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Mount Lebanon Range

Stunning views of the snow-capped Qurnat as Sawda peaks immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Amman Cityscape

The sprawling white-stone hills of the Jordanian capital visible during the mid-flight segment.

🏜️

An Nafud Desert

Expansive golden dunes stretching toward the horizon as the flight enters Saudi airspace.

⛰️

Mount Uhud

The historic red-granite mountain located north of Madinah, visible during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and heat. This side provides the best perspective of the inland mountain ranges of Lebanon and the urban density of Amman. Keep an eye out for the green patches of the Beqaa Valley shortly after departure.
