Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Entebbe International Airport (Entebbe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Ethiopian Highlands, the geological wonders of the Great Rift Valley, and the winding path of the White Nile during the descent into Entebbe.
Ethiopian Highlands
Fly directly over the 'Roof of Africa,' featuring rugged peaks, deep gorges, and lush green plateaus.
Great Rift Valley Lakes
A stunning chain of lakes including Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo nestled within the tectonic rift.
The White Nile
Spot the start of the White Nile as it exits Lake Victoria near Jinja during the final descent stages.
Entebbe Peninsula
Exquisite views of the lush, green Entebbe peninsula and scattered islands within Lake Victoria during landing.
Asir Mountains
The dramatic mountain range running parallel to the Red Sea in southwestern Saudi Arabia.
The right side is essential for daytime flights to witness the Great Rift Valley's escarpments. For the best photography of the Ethiopian mountains, avoid the wing area. On the final approach to EBB, the right side typically offers the best view of the Nile's source.
Rub' al Khali
The vast, undulating orange dunes of the Empty Quarter in Saudi Arabia dominate the early part of the journey.
Mount Elgon
A massive extinct shield volcano on the border of Kenya and Uganda, featuring one of the world's largest intact calderas.
Lake Victoria Horizon
On early morning flights, the sun rises over the massive expanse of the world's second-largest freshwater lake.
Doha Skyline
Immediately after takeoff, catch views of the Pearl-Qatar and the futuristic West Bay skyscrapers.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise reflect off the Arabian Gulf. This side is also better for spotting Mount Elgon's massive base as you approach the Ugandan border from the northeast.
