Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Jebel Marra volcanic range and the stunning Deriba Crater, alongside the initial views of the Nile confluence.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Nile Confluence

Witness the spectacular meeting of the Blue and White Nile rivers immediately after takeoff from Khartoum.

🌋

Jebel Marra Massif

A massive volcanic range rising from the Darfur plateau, featuring rugged peaks and ancient lava flows.

🏔️

Deriba Crater

The highest point in Sudan, this enormous caldera often contains two turquoise crater lakes visible from cruising altitude.

🌾

Sahelian Savanna

Watch the transition from arid desert to the sparse acacia scrub and seasonal grasslands of the Sahel belt.

🏘️

Al-Fashir Outskirts

Aerial views of the historic capital of North Darfur and its unique circular housing patterns.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Marrah Mountains about 45-60 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the volcanic textures of the crater and the deep greens of the mountain valleys.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🏙️

Omdurman Cityscape

Get a clear view of Sudan's largest city and the historic Khalifa House area during the initial climb.

🏜️

Saharan Sand Seas

Vast stretches of the Libyan Desert featuring complex longitudinal dune patterns and shifting orange sands.

🪨

Inselbergs of Kordofan

Isolated granite hills rising sharply from the flat desert floor, creating a moon-like landscape.

🐪

Wadi Systems

Intricate networks of dry riverbeds that trace white sandy lines through the dark desert pavement.

The right side offers the best view of the Saharan expanse and the dense urban grid of Omdurman. During late afternoon flights, this side can experience significant glare; use the window shade to manage the intense desert sun reflecting off the wings.
