Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers a superior perspective of the Nile River's lush valley contrasting with the Sahara, followed by the dramatic descent over the Dead Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

The Nile River

Follow the winding green ribbon of life as it carves through the stark Sudanese and Egyptian deserts.

💧

Lake Nasser

A massive blue expanse appearing at the border, created by the Aswan High Dam.

⛰️

Mount Sinai

The rugged, sacred peaks of the Sinai Peninsula provide a dramatic mountain landscape mid-flight.

🧂

The Dead Sea

View the distinct salt-crusted shores and turquoise waters of the world's lowest point during the descent.

🏙️

Jerusalem

On exceptionally clear days, the distant outline of the Holy City is visible to the west before landing.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left for a daytime flight. The contrast between the Nile and the desert is most vivid in the morning sun. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the Dead Sea, which is the highlight of the approach. If flying in the late afternoon, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun over the Mediterranean.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Red Sea Coastline

Catch glimpses of the coral-filled turquoise waters and the resort hubs of eastern Egypt.

🛥️

Gulf of Aqaba

See the narrow waterway where four countries converge at the northern tip of the Red Sea.

🏜️

Wadi Rum

The 'Valley of the Moon' offers breathtaking views of red sandstone mountains and vast desert plains.

🏺

Petra Region

Observe the jagged, mountainous terrain that hides the ancient Nabataean city of Petra.

🌆

Amman Skyline

View the sprawling white-stone hills of the Jordanian capital as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

The Right Side is ideal for capturing the deep reds of the Jordanian desert. Early morning flights are particularly scenic here, as the rising sun illuminates the Wadi Rum rock formations. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Gulf of Aqaba to see the unique meeting point of Jordan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
