Cal Madow Escarpment
Dramatic limestone cliffs and rugged peaks that rise sharply from the coastal plains.
Ancient Wadi Systems
Intricate, dried-up riverbeds forming artistic dendritic patterns across the desert floor.
Golis Mountain Range
Vast mountain ridges that dominate the horizon as you approach the Berbera region.
Arid Wilderness
Expansive views of the Somali xeric bushlands and untouched geological formations.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the northern faces of the mountain ranges. The sharp shadows in the early hours provide the best depth for photography of the canyons and wadis. Keep an eye out for the transition from the red desert sands to the gray limestone of the high peaks midway through the flight.

Gulf of Aden
The deep sapphire waters of the strategic maritime corridor connecting the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea.
Turquoise Coastal Lagoons
Vibrant patches of light blue water where coral reefs meet the white sandy shoreline.
Global Shipping Lanes
Distinguishable silhouettes of massive cargo ships and oil tankers transiting toward the Bab-el-Mandeb.
Berbera Port
A bird's-eye view of the historic and strategically vital deep-sea port during the descent.
The right side is ideal for spotting the stark contrast between the blue ocean and the white-hot desert sands. During the descent into Berbera, you can often see the 'ship graveyard' and the industrial infrastructure of the modern port. Mid-day flights provide the clearest views of the underwater coral formations near the shore due to the overhead sun.
