DXBTIP

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the historic Nile Delta, the Sinai Peninsula, and the stunning contrast between the Mediterranean Sea and the North African coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏖️

Persian Gulf Coast

Aerial views of the turquoise waters and coastal infrastructure of the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

⛰️

Sinai Mountains

Rugged, ancient mountain ranges of the Sinai Peninsula, often with sharp, dramatic shadows.

🏙️

Cairo & Nile Delta

The massive urban sprawl of Cairo where the Nile river fans out into its fertile green delta.

🌊

Mediterranean Shoreline

Stunning views of the Egyptian and Libyan coastlines where the desert meets the deep blue sea.

🏙️

Alexandria

The historic Egyptian port city visible as the flight tracks westward along the Mediterranean.

Choose the right side for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides the best chance to see the Giza Pyramids on the outskirts of Cairo, though they appear small from cruising altitude. Keep your camera ready for the stunning transition from the Nile Delta to the Mediterranean coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Dubai Skyline

View the Burj Khalifa and the sprawling downtown area shortly after departure from DXB.

🌊

Red Sea Crossing

Transitioning from the Arabian Peninsula over the deep blue waters into the African continent.

🐍

The Nile River

A vivid green ribbon of life cutting through the vast golden desert of Upper Egypt.

🏜️

Great Sand Sea

Endless waves of golden dunes and unique desert rock formations in the eastern Sahara.

Select the left side for afternoon flights to witness the Sahara's colors shift into deep oranges and reds as the sun sets. The contrast of the Nile Valley is most prominent from this side when flying over central Egypt.
