Amanus Mountains
Rising sharply after takeoff from Hatay, these lush green peaks provide a dramatic exit from Turkey.
The Dead Sea
View the striking turquoise waters and white salt shores of the lowest point on Earth as you fly over the Jordan Valley.
Wadi Rum
The 'Valley of the Moon' appears as a sprawling expanse of red sand and monolithic rock formations in southern Jordan.
Harrat Rahat
Massive black volcanic lava fields create a stark, lunar-like contrast against the desert sands nearing Madinah.
Mount Uhud
The historic red-tinted mountain located just north of Madinah, visible during the final descent into MED.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Dead Sea approximately 30-40 minutes after departure. For evening flights, the setting sun illuminates the red sands of Wadi Rum and the volcanic peaks of Saudi Arabia in deep gold and orange hues. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct ridgeline of Mount Uhud.

Mediterranean Coast
Views of the shoreline where the Orontes River meets the sea shortly after departure.
Gulf of Aqaba
The deep blue waters of the northern Red Sea, flanked by the Sinai Peninsula and the Saudi coast.
NEOM & Tabuk
Catch glimpses of the vast development projects and the rugged granite mountains of the Midian region.
Red Sea Horizon
Stunning water-horizon views, especially during sunset flights when the water turns a deep indigo.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the Gulf of Aqaba's coastline. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you may see the Sinai Peninsula in the distance. Note that window glare can be intense on this side during afternoon southbound flights.
