Mogadishu City Center
A comprehensive view of the capital's dense urban grid, including the historic Hamar Weyne district.
Shabelle River
Watch the winding path of the Shabelle River as it creates a green ribbon of life through the arid surroundings.
Afgooye Farmlands
Lush agricultural zones just outside the capital that contrast sharply with the dry Somali interior.
North Eastern Kenya Aridlands
Distinctive geological formations and seasonal riverbeds (wadies) as you approach the Wajir basin.
The right side provides a more varied landscape, from urban density to river systems. It is the preferred side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. Look out for the Shabelle River roughly 10-15 minutes after takeoff.

Indian Ocean Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and coral reefs as the aircraft climbs away from Aden Adde International.
Mogadishu Port
Clear view of the historical harbor and modern shipping infrastructure at the edge of the city.
Jubaland Savannah
Vast stretches of open plains that characterize the southern Somali landscape heading toward the Kenyan border.
The left side is perfect for capturing the final glimpses of the Somali coast. For afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side of the aircraft as you travel westward, which may cause glare.
