Right Side Highlights
7.2
🤝

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

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.
