Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic mountain ranges of High Asia and the Middle East, including the Hindu Kush and the Alborz mountains, alongside potential glimpses of the Dead Sea during the descent into Jordan.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Hindu Kush

Stunning views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks across northern Pakistan and Afghanistan.

🌋

Mount Damavand

The iconic, conical volcanic peak of Iran's Alborz range, often visible towering above the clouds.

🏙️

Tehran Skyline

The sprawling Iranian capital nestled at the foot of the massive Alborz mountain wall.

🌊

Caspian Sea

Distant views of the world's largest inland body of water to the north while overflying Iran.

📉

The Dead Sea

During the final approach into Amman, you can often see the shimmering, salt-concentrated waters of the lowest point on Earth.

Choose the right side for morning flights to get the best light on the mountain ranges without the sun shining directly into your window. Keep a close watch roughly 1.5 to 2 hours after departure for the high peaks of the Hindu Kush. During the descent into Queen Alia International Airport, look north for the dramatic elevation drop into the Jordan Rift Valley.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌵

Thar Desert

Vast stretches of the Great Indian Desert and the arid landscape of the Sindh province.

⛰️

Zagros Mountains

The southern ridges of this massive Iranian mountain range, showing complex geological folding.

💧

Euphrates River

The historic winding waterway of Mesopotamia cutting through the Iraqi desert landscape.

🐪

Syrian Desert

Expansive, rocky desert terrain that transitions into the unique basalt 'Black Desert' of eastern Jordan.

🌅

Middle Eastern Sunset

On evening flights, this side provides a direct view of the sun setting over the Arabian Peninsula.

The left side is preferable for late afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct glare from the sun when traveling west. It offers better views of the Mesopotamian plains and the vast desert interiors of Iraq and Jordan. Look for the green strips of agriculture flanking the Euphrates river amidst the beige desert.
