The Nile Valley
Witness the sharp, dramatic line where the lush green vegetation of the Nile meets the stark yellow desert sand.
Eastern Desert
View the complex network of dry riverbeds (wadis) and wind-swept plateaus between the Nile and the Red Sea.
Red Sea Reefs
Clear views of vibrant coral reef systems along the Egyptian coast near Hurghada and the Saudi coast near Yanbu.
Yanbu Industrial Hub
An impressive view of the massive petrochemical refineries and the strategic port infrastructure upon final approach.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Red Sea. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from Cairo for the best views of the Nile's green ribbon.
Book Hotels in Yenbo
New Cairo Sprawl
View the massive scale of Egypt's new administrative capital and urban expansion projects immediately after departure.
Sinai Peninsula
Distant views of the rugged mountain ranges of the Sinai, including the historic peaks near St. Catherine.
Gulf of Suez
The narrow northern extension of the Red Sea, often dotted with cargo ships waiting for the Suez Canal.
Umluj Coastline
Approaching the Saudi coast, look for the pristine white sand and turquoise waters of the 'Maldives of Saudi Arabia'.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the Sinai mountains if the flight path tracks further north over the Gulf of Suez.
