Which side of the plane to sit from Hurghada International Airport (Hurghada) to Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Sinai Peninsula, the Suez Canal entrance, the dense clusters of the Aegean Islands, and the most dramatic peaks of the Austrian Alps.
Sinai Peninsula
Dramatic views of the jagged, reddish mountains of the Sinai desert and the Gulf of Suez.
Suez Canal Entrance
Look for the massive queue of cargo ships waiting to transit the canal near Port Said.
Aegean Archipelago
A stunning bird's-eye view of the Cyclades and Crete scattered across the blue Aegean Sea.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands and limestone cliffs along the Croatian shoreline.
Austrian Alps
Direct views of the Hohe Tauern range and iconic peaks before descending into Bavaria.
Bavarian Landscape
The rolling hills, dense forests, and organized farmland of Southern Germany during the final approach.
The right side is essential for maritime enthusiasts wanting to see the Suez Canal traffic. During winter months, the low sun angle provides incredible shadows over the Alpine ridges, making the mountain topography stand out vividly.
Hurghada Coastline
Aerial views of the vibrant coral reefs and turquoise lagoons along the Red Sea Riviera.
Nile Delta Edge
The stark transition where the golden Eastern Desert meets the lush green irrigation of the Nile valley.
Peloponnese Peninsula
The rugged western coastline of Greece featuring deep bays and mountainous terrain.
Ionian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and distant views of the Ionian islands like Zakynthos.
Western Alps
Snow-capped vistas of the high peaks as the flight path moves north through Central Europe.
Choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the contrast between the Sahara and the Mediterranean. This side is particularly scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the Egyptian coastline from the east.
