Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Nile's course, the sprawl of Cairo, and a more direct angle for the Eastern Alps and the German landscape.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🐍

The White Nile

Follow the winding path of the White Nile as it snakes through the Sudd wetlands and the arid plains of Sudan.

🏙️

Khartoum Confluence

A clear view of the historic meeting point between the Blue and White Nile rivers in the heart of the Sudanese capital.

🏛️

Cairo & Giza

As you transition toward the Mediterranean, look for the massive urban sprawl of Cairo and the distant Pyramids near the Nile Delta.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Sharp, limestone peaks of the Italian Alps provide a breathtaking landscape during the descent into Central Europe.

🏰

Rhine River Valley

Deep green forests and historic German towns visible as the aircraft prepares for its final approach into Brussels.

The right side is the 'Nile Side'. For EBB-BRU flights, which often operate during daylight hours, this side provides the most iconic landmarks. Sit here to see the Pyramids of Giza on the horizon as you exit the African continent. Use a polarising filter on your camera to cut through the haze over the Sahara and the Mediterranean.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Lake Victoria Coastline

Stunning views of the Entebbe peninsula and the vast western expanse of Africa's largest lake immediately after takeoff.

🏜️

Western Sahara

Dramatic aerial patterns of the Libyan Desert's rolling dunes and isolated oases as the plane crosses North Africa.

🇮🇹

Italian Riviera

Glimpses of the rugged Ligurian coastline and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea near the border of France.

🏔️

Western Alps

Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks including Mont Blanc if the flight path tracks slightly west over Switzerland.

The left side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying on a late afternoon departure. It provides better views of the open Mediterranean and the French countryside. Keep your window shade open during the mid-flight crossing of the Sahara for unique geological textures visible in high-altitude sunlight.
