Which side of the plane to sit from Mosul International Airport (Mosul) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?

Search flights from OSM to AMM
Mosul Cityscape
Immediate views of the Tigris River winding through the ancient and modern quarters of Mosul.
Jabal Sinjar
The isolated, 100km-long mountain ridge that rises sharply from the surrounding flat plains.
Harrat al-Sham
A vast, dark field of volcanic basalt rocks creating a lunar-like landscape near the border.
Syrian Desert
Stunning golden horizons over the northern Badiyat al-Sham plateau.
The right side is best for geographical landmarks like Sinjar Mountain. For the best photography of the basalt fields, aim for a late afternoon flight when the shadows highlight the volcanic textures of the earth.

Nineveh Plains
Aerial views of the agricultural patterns and historical settlements surrounding Mosul.
Wadi Al-Tharthar
Expansive views of the deep desert depressions and seasonal drainage systems of western Iraq.
Azraq Oasis
A rare glimpse of the blue wetlands and greenery in the middle of the harsh Jordanian desert.
East Amman
Dense urban clusters and the rolling hills of the Jordanian capital during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for spotting the subtle changes in desert topography and the sudden appearance of the Azraq wetlands during the descent into AMM.
