Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of coastal geography, including the turquoise waters of the Red Sea, the unique geological formation of the Dead Sea, and a continuous view of the Mediterranean coastline during the northern segment of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Red Sea Coral Reefs

Exquisite views of the shallow coral systems and turquoise lagoons along the Saudi Arabian coast shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Sinai Peninsula

Distal views of the rugged, mountainous terrain of the Sinai as the plane traverses the Gulf of Aqaba.

🧂

The Dead Sea

A clear view of the world's lowest point, featuring the iconic salt evaporation ponds at its southern tip.

🏙️

Mediterranean Coastline

Panoramic sightings of major coastal cities including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

✈️

Adana Approach

Vibrant views of the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft turns inland over the Turkish coast toward the airport.

Choose the left side for morning flights (South to North) to keep the sun behind the aircraft, reducing glare on the window. Watch closely approximately 70-90 minutes after departure for the Dead Sea. During the winter, the Mediterranean coast is often clear of clouds, providing excellent urban photography opportunities.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏜️

Hijaz Mountains

The dramatic, dark volcanic rock formations and jagged peaks of the Western Saudi Arabian mountain range.

🐫

Wadi Rum

The 'Valley of the Moon' in Jordan is visible with its distinct red sand dunes and monolithic rock structures.

🏘️

Amman Cityscape

The sprawling, densely packed white-stone architecture covering the many hills of the Jordanian capital.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

As you enter Turkey, the snow-capped peaks of the Taurus range provide a stunning backdrop for the descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the golden hour light hitting the desert mountains of Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Keep an eye out for the distinct red landscape of southern Jordan halfway through the flight. Ensure you have your camera ready during the final 20 minutes for the Taurus Mountains.
