Red Sea Coastline
Aerial views of the crystal-clear waters and coral reefs along the Egyptian coast shortly after takeoff.

The historic Egyptian port city where the Nile Delta meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Italian Peninsula

Ticino River Valley

For the best experience, choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning departures from JED, the sun will be on the right side for most of the flight, making the left side cooler and better for photography. During the winter months, the Alps on the left side are particularly majestic with full snow cover.
