Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the diverse Arabian topography, including the dramatic Sarawat mountain peaks and the legendary red sandstone formations of Wadi Rum.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sarawat Mountains

Impressive views of the towering escarpments and high-altitude peaks along the southwestern Saudi border.

🌋

Harrat Rahat

Massive, dark volcanic lava fields that create a stark, alien landscape stretching across the Arabian interior.

🏜️

Wadi Rum

The iconic 'Valley of the Moon' in southern Jordan, famous for its deep red sand dunes and monolithic rock formations.

🏛️

Petra Hinterlands

The rugged, mountainous desert terrain surrounding the ancient Nabataean city of Petra.

🏙️

Amman's White City

The sprawling hills of the Jordanian capital covered in characteristic limestone architecture during the final approach.

Book a morning flight to see the sun rising over the Hijaz mountains. Keep an eye out for the distinct black patches of volcanic fields in Saudi Arabia, which provide a stunning contrast to the surrounding desert sand.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Red Sea Expanse

Deep turquoise waters contrasting sharply with the pale sandy Tihama coastal plains of Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

⛰️

Sinai Peninsula

The stark, jagged peaks of the Sinai mountains in Egypt visible across the gulf in the distance.

💧

The Dead Sea

The shimmering, saline waters of the world's lowest point visible as the aircraft begins its descent into Amman.

🚢

Aqaba Port

The bustling maritime hub at the northern tip of the Red Sea where Jordan meets the sea.

Choose a seat on this side for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Sinai mountains. The view of the Dead Sea just before landing is a major highlight, especially when the sun reflects off the salt crusts.
