KRT → ELF
Which side of the plane to sit from Khartoum International Airport (Khartoum) to El Fasher Airport (El Fasher)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Nile confluence shortly after takeoff from Khartoum and offers more diverse views of the Sahelian landscape and the rolling Qoz sand dunes of Kordofan.

White Nile Confluence
Witness the dramatic meeting of the pale White Nile and the darker Blue Nile during the initial climb out of Khartoum.
Gezira Scheme
View the massive geometric patterns of the Gezira irrigation project, one of the largest of its kind in the world.
Qoz Sand Dunes
Observe the undulating orange-red sand dunes characteristic of the Kordofan region as the terrain shifts from fertile plains to desert.
Sahelian Settlements
Look for traditional clustered settlements and seasonal water holes that sustain life in the semi-arid Darfur approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Early in the flight, watch for the distinct color contrast between the two Niles. As you approach El Fasher, look for the traditional 'Hafir' water reservoirs used by local communities.

Khartoum North
A panoramic view of the urban sprawl of Omdurman and the northern industrial districts of the capital.
Wadi Muqaddam
The intricate, dried-up riverbeds of the Wadi Muqaddam system carving ancient paths through the desert floor.
Basaltic Formations
Ancient volcanic rock outcrops and dark basalt fields that contrast sharply with the surrounding yellow sands.
Desert Expanses
Stark and beautiful vistas of the Libyan Desert's southern edge, characterized by vast horizons and occasional dust devils.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' lighting over the desert. Keep an eye out for the Omdurman skyline during departure. In the dry season, look for the 'Habub' dust storms which are more frequently spotted moving from the north.
