MUCHRG

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic sequence including the highest peaks of the German Alps, the Venetian Lagoon, and the iconic transition from the Nile Delta to the Great Pyramids.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Zugspitze Peak

Germany's highest mountain is visible to the south-west shortly after takeoff.

🛶

Venice Lagoon

On clear days, the historic canals and the Venetian coastline are visible across the Adriatic.

🌿

Nile Delta

The stark contrast between the lush green fertile land and the surrounding golden desert.

🏺

Giza Plateau

Distant but recognizable views of the Great Pyramids if the flight path tracks near Cairo.

🐫

Sahara Edge

The vast, undulating dunes of the Egyptian desert stretching toward the horizon.

The right side is essential for the Cairo fly-over. To spot the Pyramids, look out about 45-60 minutes before landing. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 12-22 on most A320/B737s) as they will block the view of the Nile's bend.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Tyrolean Alps

Breathtaking views of the Austrian alpine peaks shortly after departing Munich.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

The intricate network of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian coastline.

🌊

Mediterranean Expanse

Deep blue maritime views as the flight crosses from Europe toward the African continent.

⛰️

Red Sea Mountains

Rugged, dark volcanic mountain ranges of the Eastern Desert during the descent.

🪸

Hurghada Reefs

Vibrant turquoise coral formations visible during the final turn into the airport.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the best views of the Croatian islands. During the final approach into HRG, this side often provides the best angle of the Red Sea's shallow coral reefs.
