Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic transition from the Red Sea's turquoise reefs to the lush, narrow green ribbon of the Nile Valley, providing a stark contrast against the Eastern Desert.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Jeddah Waterfront

Aerial view of the King Fahd's Fountain and the winding Jeddah Corniche immediately after takeoff.

🪸

Red Sea Coral Reefs

Vibrant turquoise reef patterns visible along the Saudi coastline before heading over deep water.

⛰️

Eastern Desert Peaks

Rugged, sun-scorched mountains of Egypt's Eastern Desert as the aircraft crosses the coastline.

🌿

Nile Valley Ribbon

The sharp line where the golden desert meets the deep green agricultural land of the Nile Valley.

💧

The Nile River

A clear view of the Nile's main artery as the flight descends toward Sohag International.

Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the Nile Valley's colors without glare. This side is also better for spotting the Red Sea shoreline during the initial climb.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🚤

Obhur Creek

Views of the northern developments of Jeddah and the luxury marinas near Obhur.

🌊

Red Sea Horizon

Expansive views of the Red Sea shipping lanes and the distant silhouettes of the Sinai Peninsula.

🏜️

Plateau Landscapes

Unique geological formations and limestone plateaus of the upper Egyptian desert terrain.

🕌

Sohag Outskirts

A perspective of the expanding urban developments and mosques on the eastern banks of the Nile.

The right side is ideal for capturing the vastness of the desert and the Red Sea horizon. On late afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare when looking toward the west.
