Search flights from HAM to HRG
Austrian Alps
Stunning vistas of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as you traverse Central Europe.
Adriatic Sea
Beautiful views of the Balkan coastline and the azure waters of the Adriatic.
Nile Delta
The incredible, sharp boundary where the lush green vegetation of the Nile meets the barren desert.
Pyramids of Giza
Depending on the specific flight vector, the pyramids may be visible on the horizon near Cairo.
Eastern Desert
Vast stretches of golden sand dunes and dramatic rocky plateaus leading to the Red Sea.
The right side is a geography lover's dream. Approximately one hour into the flight, watch for the jagged peaks of the Alps. As you enter Egyptian airspace, the transition from the Mediterranean to the Nile Delta is most prominent on this side. Try to book a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Sahara's intricate patterns.

Prague Cityscape
Aerial views of the Vltava River and the historic red roofs of the Czech capital.
Vienna and the Danube
The sprawling Austrian capital and the winding blue ribbon of the Danube River.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged, less-traveled mountain ranges stretching across Serbia and Bulgaria.
Cyprus Coastline
The western tip of the island of Cyprus visible amidst the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Hurghada Coastline
Direct views of the vibrant coral reefs and turquoise lagoons of the Red Sea during the final descent.
The left side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight on southbound morning flights, reducing glare for photography. It offers the best perspective of the Red Sea's turquoise shallows as the plane banks toward Hurghada International Airport. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best shots of the resort coastlines.
