CAITAI

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers unparalleled views of the Nile River, the Red Sea's crystalline coastline, and the dramatic mountainous terrain of Western Yemen during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Nile River Valley

The striking green ribbon of life cutting through the Sahara immediately after takeoff from Cairo.

🪸

Red Sea Reefs

Intricate turquoise coral reef systems and island chains along the coastline.

🌄

Yemeni Highlands

Terraced mountainsides and ancient stone villages perched on steep cliffs near Taiz.

🏖️

Tihamah Coastline

The flat, sandy coastal plain of Yemen meeting the deep blue of the Red Sea.

Sit on the right side for a potential view of the Pyramids of Giza if the flight path departs westward before turning south. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Yemeni mountains.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏜️

Eastern Desert

Aerial views of the rugged, arid terrain and jagged peaks of Egypt's Eastern Desert.

⚓

Gulf of Suez

Watch for large cargo ships and tankers navigating the narrow waters leading to the Suez Canal.

⛰️

Sarawat Mountains

The massive mountain range of western Saudi Arabia stretching toward the Yemeni border.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a great perspective of the vast Arabian interior and the sheer scale of the desert plateaus.
