Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Marsa Alam International Airport (Marsa Alam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional view of the Central Alps and the most iconic desert transition, featuring the lush green strip of the Nile River and the ancient landmarks of Luxor before reaching the Red Sea coast.
Central Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Swiss and Italian Alps including the Zugspitze region.
Venetian Lagoon
Look down to see the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands as you cross the Adriatic.
Nile River & Luxor
The absolute highlight; the stark contrast between the green Nile valley and the yellow desert, often including views of Luxor's temples.
Eastern Desert
Intricate wind-sculpted sand dunes and jagged black rock formations of the Egyptian high desert.
Port Ghalib
As the plane aligns with the runway, you will see the upscale resorts and yacht marina of Port Ghalib.
The right side is unbeatable for seeing the Nile River and the Valley of the Kings. Aim for a flight arriving in the afternoon; the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect soft lighting for photography of the desert landscapes and the deep canyons of the Eastern Desert.
Eastern Alps
Stunning views of the Austrian peaks and the Grossglockner massif shortly after departure from Germany.
Dalmatian Coast
A clear view of the turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian shoreline.
Greek Archipelago
The plane typically passes over or near Crete, offering views of its rugged mountains and northern coastline.
Suez Canal Entrance
On clear days, the northern entrance to the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula are visible in the distance.
Red Sea Coast
Dramatic turquoise coral reefs and the deep blue of the Red Sea during the final descent into Marsa Alam.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is the best side for spotting the distant Sinai mountains and the vibrant colors of the Red Sea's coral reefs as the plane turns for its final approach to RMF airport.
