Red Sea Coastline
Crystal clear turquoise waters and coral reefs near Jeddah's shoreline upon departure.
Midian Mountains
The rugged, ancient granite peaks of Northwest Saudi Arabia.
The Dead Sea
A clear view of the world's lowest point, featuring salt-crusted shores and deep blue water.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic snow-dusted limestone peaks as the flight crosses into Southern Turkey.
Batumi Waterfront
A stunning panorama of the Black Sea and the modern Batumi skyline during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun which rises in the east. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the aircraft usually maneuvers over the Black Sea for its approach into Batumi International Airport. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Levant to capture the unique colors of the Dead Sea.

Hejaz Mountains
Expansive views of black volcanic landscapes and mountain ranges in Western Saudi Arabia.
An Nafud Desert
The Great Sand Sea of the northern Arabian Peninsula with its signature reddish dunes.
Amman Cityscape
A birds-eye view of the sprawling hills and white-stone architecture of Jordan's capital.
Euphrates River
The historic waterway winding through the northern reaches of the Syrian/Turkish border region.
Lesser Caucasus
Lush, misty green mountains and deep valleys as you enter Georgian airspace.
The right side is excellent for viewing the vast desert expansions of the Arabian Peninsula early in the flight. If you are flying in the late afternoon, the right side will enjoy the 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Caucasus mountains. However, be aware that the sun will be on this side for the majority of a northbound morning flight, which may require closing the window shade to reduce heat.
