Search flights from MED to GIZ
Madinah Holy City
Stunning aerial views of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and the urban sprawl of the holy city shortly after takeoff.
Harrat Rahat
Massive, dark volcanic lava fields featuring distinct cinder cones and craters stretching across the landscape.
Sarawat Mountains
Dramatic jagged peaks and deep valleys of the Hijaz range as the flight progresses south.
Asir Foothills
As you approach the south, the terrain becomes more rugged and occasionally greener around the Asir region.
For the best photography of the volcanic craters, aim for a morning flight when the shadows define the topography. Sit away from the wing (rows 1-8 or 25+) to see the intricate patterns of the lava fields clearly.
