Khartoum Urban Sprawl
A comprehensive view of the Sudanese capital's growing infrastructure and the winding Blue Nile.
Red Sea Reefs
Look down to see the intricate turquoise coral reef patterns near the Sudanese and Saudi coasts.
Hijaz Mountains
Rugged, dark mountain peaks that define the landscape of the Hejaz region as you enter Saudi airspace.
Harrat Rahat
View the massive black volcanic lava fields located to the south and east of the holy city.
Mount Uhud
The historic mountain north of Madinah is often visible during the final banking maneuvers into the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft. During the descent into Madinah, look for the 'Harrah' (lava fields) which look like ink spilled across the desert. If landing at night, the city lights are highly concentrated and vibrant on this side.
