Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the dramatic Ahaggar mountain range in the Sahara and a stunning panorama of the Beirut skyline and Mount Lebanon during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Niger River

The winding curves of West Africa's primary river carving through the dry northern Nigerian landscape.

🌋

Ahaggar Mountains

Incredible volcanic massifs and high plateaus rising from the Algerian desert floor, featuring the Assekrem peak.

🏔️

Mount Lebanon

The majestic snow-capped peaks of the Lebanese range visible as you descend toward the coast.

🏙️

Beirut Cityscape

A breathtaking view of Beirut's dense peninsula and the Zaitunay Bay area during the standard approach over the sea.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'Beirut Curve' where planes often circle the city before landing. Daytime flights are crucial for seeing the Saharan mountain ranges. In winter, keep an eye out for the striking contrast of snow on the Lebanese peaks against the blue sea. A window seat behind the wing provides the best scale for the vast desert landscapes.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Lagos Coastline

Panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the Nigerian capital's dense urban sprawl immediately after takeoff.

🏜️

Western Sahara Ergs

The vast, undulating sand dunes of the western Saharan basins, showcasing nature's shifting patterns.

🌇

Mediterranean Sunset

On evening flights, this side offers a front-row seat to the sun dipping below the Mediterranean horizon.

🛥️

Levantine Coast

Views of the Mediterranean shoreline and shipping lanes as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach.

Choose the left side for afternoon departures to witness a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean. During the early flight phase, look down for the intricate networks of the Nigerian rainforest transitioning into the Sahel. Seats forward of the wing are recommended to avoid engine heat haze distorting the horizon.
