Which side of the plane to sit from Geneina Airport (Geneina) to Khartoum International Airport (Khartoum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the volcanic Marrah Mountains and a front-row seat to the confluence of the White and Blue Niles during the descent into Khartoum.
Deriba Crater
The highest point in Darfur, featuring a stunning double-caldera with a green crater lake visible on clear days.
Kordofan Savanna
The transition from volcanic mountains to the semi-arid acacia scrubland of central Sudan.
The White Nile
The winding ribbon of the White Nile as it approaches Khartoum from the south, bordered by lush green farms.
Al-Mogran Confluence
The spectacular site where the Blue Nile and White Nile meet, often showing distinct water colors.
Historic Omdurman
Views of the sprawling city of Omdurman, including the Khalifa House and the vibrant market districts.
Opt for the right side on afternoon flights for perfectly lit views of the Marrah Mountains. Watch closely about 20 minutes before landing to catch the exact moment the two Niles merge; the color contrast between the silt-heavy Blue Nile and the clearer White Nile is most striking from this side.
Saharan Sand Seas
Expansive views of the golden-orange dunes of the Libyan Desert stretching toward the northern horizon.
Northern Marrah Ridges
The rugged northern slopes of the Jebel Marra volcanic massif, showing ancient lava flows.
Wadi Howar Basin
The remnants of an ancient 'Yellow Nile' visible as seasonal greenery and dry riverbeds in the sand.
Khartoum North
A bird's-eye view of the industrial and residential districts of Bahri as the flight aligns for landing.
Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is ideal for photographers interested in the abstract textures and shifting shadows of the deep desert dunes and the wide horizons of the Sahel.
