During the descent into FCO, you can often spot the Tiber River and the historic center of Rome.
The right side offers the best lighting for photography as the sun is behind the plane. Watch for the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges shortly after takeoff from Dhaka. During the middle of the flight, the Anatolian plateau provides incredible geological textures.

The historical cradle of civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq.
Mediterranean Islands
Clear turquoise waters and silhouettes of islands like Crete or Cyprus depending on the specific airway.
Southern Italian Coast
The 'boot' of Italy becomes visible with the rugged Apennine mountains meeting the blue sea.
On the left side, you will face the sun for the majority of the flight, so keep your window shade down during the peak afternoon to avoid cabin heat. It is best for seeing the southern Mediterranean coastlines, but the glare can be intense during midday. Choose this side if you want a chance to see the North African coastline in the far distance.
