KRT → UYL
Which side of the plane to sit from Khartoum International Airport (Khartoum) to Nyala Airport (Nyala)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Nile confluence at the start and the distant volcanic peaks of Jebel Marra during the approach into Darfur.
Nile Confluence
A stunning look at the Blue and White Nile meeting at Tuti Island in Khartoum right after departure.
The Qoz Dunes
Extensive fields of stabilized orange sand dunes characteristic of the Kordofan region.
Jebel Marra
On clear days, the distant jagged silhouette of the volcanic Jebel Marra massif appears on the northwestern horizon.
Nyala Outskirts
The rapid urban expansion and bustling outskirts of Darfur's commercial hub as the plane descends.
Sit near the front of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction for the Khartoum city view. Watch for the 'Wadi' riverbeds which turn green and flow during the brief rainy season from July to September.
White Nile View
Aerial view of the White Nile as it winds south toward the Sudd wetlands shortly after takeoff.
El Obeid Horizon
Distant view of the gum arabic capital, El Obeid, nestled in the North Kordofan plains.
Nomadic Settlements
Small clusters of traditional tukuls and nomadic 'feriks' visible across the semi-arid landscape.
Sahelian Scrubland
The unique texture of the transition zone between the Sahara desert and the southern savannah.
Choose an early morning flight to capture the soft light hitting the White Nile. Visibility is often best in the winter months (November to February) when the dust haze is less frequent.
