Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Dubai skyline during departure and the spectacular transition from the Red Sea coastline to the lush White Nile basin and the Entebbe peninsula upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Dubai Skyline

Aerial views of the Burj Khalifa and the coastline immediately after takeoff from DXB.

🏖️

Red Sea Coastline

The striking contrast of turquoise coral reefs against the arid shores of Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

🏔️

Simien Mountains

The jagged peaks of northern Ethiopia, often referred to as the 'Roof of Africa'.

🐍

The White Nile

The winding path of the Nile river as it meanders through South Sudan toward Lake Victoria.

🌳

Entebbe Peninsula

Lush green landscapes and botanical gardens visible during the low-altitude final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the 'Golden Hour' over the African interior. The approach into Entebbe often involves a wide turn over the water; look for the White Nile's exit point from the lake near Jinja. Ensure your window is clean for photos of the Dubai coast right after wheels-up.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Rub' al Khali

The vast, rolling red sand dunes of the Empty Quarter in the southern Arabian Peninsula.

🌊

Gulf of Aden

Deep blue waters where the Arabian Sea meets the Horn of Africa near Djibouti.

⛰️

Ethiopian Highlands

Rugged, high-altitude terrain featuring dramatic escarpments and deep valleys.

🌋

Great Rift Valley

The massive geological trench visible as a series of lakes and steep cliffs through East Africa.

💧

Lake Victoria

The expansive horizon of the world's largest tropical lake as you approach the Ugandan coast.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. You will get a better view of the sunrise over the Arabian Sea and the sheer scale of the Rift Valley lakes in Ethiopia. During the final approach to Entebbe, keep an eye out for the numerous small islands dotting Lake Victoria.
