HOD → AMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Hodeidah International Airport (Hodeidah) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
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.
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.
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.
