Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the contrast between the lush Nile Delta and the desert, the northern Suez Canal, and a spectacular perspective of the Dead Sea during the descent into Amman.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Cairo & Nile Delta

Aerial view of the sprawling Egyptian capital and the sharp boundary where the green Nile Delta meets the yellow desert sands.

🛳️

Suez Canal North

The northern segment of the canal near Port Said, often featuring a line of massive container ships waiting to enter.

🏖️

Mediterranean Coast

The turquoise waters and white sands of the northern Sinai coastline, including the unique Bardawil Lagoon.

🌊

The Dead Sea

A breathtaking view of the world's lowest point, characterized by its deep blue waters and white salt-crusted shores.

⛰️

Mount Nebo

As the plane turns toward Amman, look for the historic ridge offering panoramic views over the Jordan Valley.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Dead Sea during the final 20 minutes of the flight. For the clearest visibility of the Sinai coast, choose a morning flight to avoid the midday sun glare over the water. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the geometric patterns of the Nile Delta's irrigation systems.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏗️

New Administrative Capital

View of Egypt's massive new city rising out of the desert, featuring the Iconic Tower and the 'Green River' park.

🚢

Gulf of Suez

A clear crossing of the narrow gulf with numerous oil platforms and ships transiting toward the Red Sea.

🏜️

Sinai Mountains

The rugged, reddish-brown granite peaks of the southern Sinai interior, creating a Martian-like landscape.

🏝️

Gulf of Aqaba

In the distance, the deep blue waters of the Aqaba gulf and the intersection of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

🏛️

Jordanian Highlands

The dramatic canyons and plateau of southern Jordan, showing the ancient landscape leading toward the capital.

The right side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of Egypt's desert development projects. Afternoon flights provide beautiful golden-hour lighting on the Sinai mountains. Note that during summer months, dust haze can obscure the distant Gulf of Aqaba, so winter or spring flights offer the crispest views of the Jordanian plateau.
