Nile Delta
The vast, fan-shaped region of intense agriculture that provides a stark contrast to the surrounding desert.
Cairo Urban Sprawl
The massive scale of Egypt's capital city, often visible alongside the winding path of the Nile.
Mediterranean Coastline
The beautiful transition where the golden sands of the North African coast meet the deep blue Mediterranean waters.
Benghazi Skyline
A coastal view of Libya's second-largest city as the flight traverses the Gulf of Sirte.
Gulf of Sirte
The wide, sweeping maritime arc of the Libyan coast, offering a mix of sea and desert horizons.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep a close watch roughly 60 to 90 minutes into the flight for the transition from the desert into the green Nile Delta. This side provides the best perspective of the coastline as you approach Tripoli.

Red Sea Departure
Exquisite views of the coral reefs and turquoise waters immediately after taking off from Jeddah.
The Great Sand Sea
Intricate and mesmerizing wind-blown dune patterns of the Sahara stretching deep into the African interior.
Upper Nile Valley
A sharp, dramatic line of green vegetation that marks the Nile River's path through the arid Egyptian landscape.
Remote Desert Oases
Isolated patches of life and palm groves scattered throughout the vast Western Desert of Egypt.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise casting long, dramatic shadows over the Saharan dunes. It is also the best side for seeing the heart of the desert's geological formations. Ensure your window is clear of frost to capture the subtle color gradients of the sand.
