Harrat Rahat
Massive black volcanic fields and ancient lava flows visible shortly after takeoff from Jeddah.
Al-Ula Valley
Stunning sandstone rock formations and the sprawling desert oasis of the Hijaz region.
The Dead Sea
The unmistakable salt-rimmed turquoise waters of the lowest point on Earth visible mid-flight.
Orontes River Valley
A lush, green agricultural corridor that contrasts sharply with the surrounding arid mountains.
Mount Cassius
The towering peak of Jebel Aqra which marks the final descent into the Hatay region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the Arabian desert. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Dead Sea, which is easily identifiable by its unique shape and high-contrast salt deposits.

Red Sea Coastline
Aerial views of the coral reefs and turquoise lagoons stretching north from Jeddah.

The rugged, reddish-brown mountain ranges of the Sinai visible across the Gulf of Aqaba.

The densely populated Mediterranean shoreline featuring the cities of Beirut and Tripoli in the distance.
Port of Latakia

Sit on the left during early morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is better for observing the distinct color shift from the desert sands to the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as you head north.
