Search flights from CAI to DME
Suez Canal
A bird's-eye view of ships transiting the vital waterway connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
Island of Cyprus
The distinct shape of the island nation visible amidst the blue Mediterranean waters.
Mount Erciyes
A massive dormant volcano and its surrounding volcanic landscapes in Central Anatolia.
Caucasus Mountains
Spectacular views of Europe's highest peaks, including the twin summits of Mount Elbrus.
Russian Steppes
The vast, flat agricultural landscapes of the Kuban region with its characteristic 'patchwork quilt' fields.
Moscow Forests
The dense birch and pine forests that ring the Russian capital, beautiful in all seasons.
Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Caucasus peaks perfectly. Keep an eye out about 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the Suez Canal, and roughly halfway through the flight for the high mountains.

Nile Delta
The lush green agricultural heart of Egypt contrasting sharply with the surrounding Sahara Desert.
Turkish Riviera
The stunning turquoise coastline of Antalya where the Taurus Mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys stretching across southern Turkey.
Black Sea Coast
The transition from the Turkish highlands to the vast, dark waters of the Black Sea.
Western Moscow
Views of the city's outskirts and the Moskva River during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for better views of the Nile Delta during the initial climb. For sunset flights heading north, this side will be directly exposed to the sun, so keep your window shade ready. It is the better side for seeing the city center during certain landing patterns into DME.
