Which side of the plane to sit from King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) to Adana Airport (Adana)?
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.
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.
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.
