Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the towering Tibesti Mountains in the Sahara and a more scenic approach into Beirut, featuring the city skyline and the Mount Lebanon range.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
šŸŒ‹

Tibesti Mountains

Stunning views of the highest peaks in the Sahara Desert, located along the Chad-Libya border.

🌾

Nile Delta Fringe

The stark, sharp boundary where the golden Egyptian desert meets the lush green irrigation of the Nile region.

šŸ™ļø

Beirut Skyline

A panoramic view of Beirut's dense urban sprawl and the Mediterranean harbor during the final approach.

ā›°ļø

Mount Lebanon Range

The limestone ridges of Mount Lebanon, which are often capped with snow during the winter months.

šŸ’”

Levantine Coast

A sparkling string of coastal cities visible if the flight arrives after dusk.

The right side is ideal for the descent into Beirut. For the best desert views, fly during the day to capture the geology of the Sahara. During the final approach into BEY (usually from the south or west), this side looks directly onto the city and its mountainous backdrop.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
šŸœļø

AĆÆr Mountains

Observation of the dark, volcanic silhouettes of the AĆÆr Massif rising from the Nigerien desert sands.

🌊

Mediterranean Entry

The dramatic visual shift as the aircraft leaves the arid North African coast and enters the vast blue Mediterranean.

šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¾

Cyprus Silhouette

On clear days, the southern coastline of Cyprus is visible as the flight tracks toward the Levant.

šŸ–ļø

Jounieh Bay

Aerial views of the iconic crescent bay and the Harissa statue on the hills north of Beirut during descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side provides excellent views of the North African coastline and the deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean before the final turn into BEY.
