Search flights from CDG to AMM
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible during the transit through French and Italian airspace.
Italian Coastline
Striking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the western coast of Italy near Rome.
Mediterranean Shoreline
The sparkling coastline of the Levant and the urban sprawl of Tel Aviv.
Jordan Valley
The dramatic geological rift valley that forms the border between Israel and Jordan.
The Dead Sea
The lowest point on earth featuring unique turquoise waters and salt formations against the desert landscape.
The Dead Sea is the star attraction and typically appears about 20 minutes before landing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be in the east, perfectly illuminating the Judean Desert and the rift valley to the west. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the Alps.

Paris Suburbs
Sprawling urban views of the French capital and the Marne river shortly after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
Views of the high peaks and glacial valleys of the Bernese Oberland region.
Adriatic Coast
The rugged, indented coastline of Croatia and Montenegro visible through the clouds.
Northern Greece
Aerial views of the Pindus mountain range and the rural landscapes of the Balkans.
Amman Skyline
The famous white limestone buildings of the Jordanian capital during the final approach.
Keep your camera ready roughly 50 to 60 minutes into the flight for the Swiss Alps. During the final approach, look for the distinctive Roman ruins of Jerash if the flight path tracks over Northern Jordan. For evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun.
