Red Sea Crossing
Deep turquoise waters and coral reef systems visible shortly after departing the Saudi Arabian coastline.
Eastern Desert
The rugged, sun-scorched mountains and ancient wadis of Egypt's desert interior before reaching the Nile.
Nile River Delta Fringe
The stunningly sharp boundary where the harsh desert sands meet the fertile green agricultural lands of the Nile.
Nile River Meanders
A bird's-eye view of the life-giving Nile River as the aircraft lines up for its final approach into Asyut.
Opt for a morning flight to have the sun at your back, illuminating the desert colors vividly. Seat yourself forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the river's serpentine path during the descent. The contrast between the desert and the green belt is most visible during the summer months when irrigation is at its peak.

Hejaz Mountains
The dramatic coastal mountain range of Saudi Arabia visible immediately after takeoff from Jeddah.
Sinai Peninsula
Distant views of the southern tip of the Sinai, including the stark, jagged peaks of the interior.
Gulf of Suez
A northern perspective of the busy maritime passage leading toward the Suez Canal, often filled with tankers.
Hurghada Coast
The sprawling resort architecture and turquoise lagoons of Egypt's premier Red Sea vacation destinations.
The right side is ideal for passengers interested in the unique geology of the Sinai. If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for some glare as the sun sets over the Egyptian mainland. Keep a lookout for ship traffic in the Gulf of Suez, which can appear as small white slivers on the water.
