Omdurman Skyline
Detailed views of Khartoum's sister city and the expansive urban sprawl along the west bank of the Nile.
Deriba Crater
The centerpiece of the Jebel Marra mountains, featuring a massive caldera and two distinct crater lakes.
The Sahara Fringe
Vast stretches of orange sand dunes and rocky outcrops where the desert meets the Sahel region.
Abéché City
The fourth largest city in Chad, recognizable by its distinct architecture and strategic desert location.
Lake Chad Basin
On clear days, the shimmering horizon to the northwest reveals the vast, shallow basin of Lake Chad.
The right side is essential for seeing the Deriba Crater, which is the highest point in Sudan/Darfur. Aim for a window seat mid-cabin to avoid wing obstruction. Mid-day flights provide the best vertical light for capturing the depth of the volcanic craters and the high-contrast desert dunes.

The Nile Confluence
View the historic meeting point of the Blue and White Nile rivers shortly after takeoff from Khartoum.
Gezira Scheme
The massive geometric patterns of one of the world's largest irrigation projects south of the capital.
Southern Marrah Foothills
Rugged terrain and seasonal wadis that cut through the southern portion of the Darfur plateau.
Sahelian Savanna
The shifting landscapes of eastern Chad, characterized by sparse vegetation and nomadic pathways.
Chari River
The winding river marking the border between Chad and Cameroon during the final descent into NDJ.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Nile confluence immediately after takeoff. This side also provides excellent views of the Chari River's lush banks during the final approach. Morning flights are ideal to keep the sun behind you for clearer photography of the Sudanese plains.
