Mount Karthala
The massive active shield volcano on Grande Comore visible shortly after takeoff from Moroni.
Somali Coastline
Striking views of the turquoise Benadir coast and the white sand dunes of central Somalia.
Mogadishu
Aerial perspective of the historic capital city and its port stretching along the Indian Ocean.
Cape Guardafui
The distinct geographical tip of the Horn of Africa where the Indian Ocean meets the Gulf of Aden.
Gulf of Tadjoura
The deep blue waters and rugged northern coastline of Djibouti during the final descent phase.
Choose a morning flight for the best lighting as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the African coastline. The most dramatic views occur during the middle third of the flight when passing the Somali plateau and the final 20 minutes approaching Djibouti. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from desert sands to dark volcanic rock near the destination.

The vast, deep blue expanse of the western Indian Ocean, often dotted with cargo ships.
Bab-el-Mandeb
The strategic strait separating the African continent from the Arabian Peninsula.
Yemeni Coastline
On clear days, the distant, rugged mountains of southern Yemen are visible across the Gulf of Aden.
Moucha Islands
Small coral islands in the Gulf of Tadjoura that appear as bright turquoise gems just before landing.
The right side is predominantly ocean-oriented. To see the Yemeni coast, high-altitude visibility is required, which is best in winter months when dust haze is lower. Avoid sitting on this side during late afternoon flights as the sun's reflection off the water can be intense. Watch for the large vessels queuing to enter the Red Sea near the end of the trip.
