Search flights from KRT to PZU
Red Sea Hills
Stunning jagged peaks and deep wadis of the crystalline mountain range that runs parallel to the coast.
Erkowit Plateau
A high-altitude 'mist oasis' that appears noticeably greener than the surrounding desert landscape.
Port Sudan Harbor
Excellent views of the main shipping docks, container terminals, and the historic downtown area.
Red Sea Coral Reefs
Intricate, bright turquoise reef patterns visible through the crystal-clear coastal waters during the final approach.
Suakin Archipelago
Small desert islands scattered in the deep blue waters of the Red Sea visible in the distance.
The right side is superior for the descent into Port Sudan. For the best view of the coral reefs and the port, try to fly between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the sun is high, minimizing surface reflection on the water.

The Nile Confluence
View the unique meeting point of the Blue and White Nile rivers immediately after departure from Khartoum.
Bayuda Desert
Expansive views of the ancient volcanic fields and golden sand dunes stretching toward the northern horizon.
Atbara City
The historical railway hub located at the junction of the Nile and the Atbara River.
Bashayer Oil Terminal
Large shipping vessels and infrastructure visible just south of Port Sudan's main city center.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Nile's 'H' shape where the rivers meet. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the western sun reflecting off the desert sands.
