Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic High Atlas mountain peaks during the final descent, alongside iconic Saharan landscapes and the lush green ribbon of the Nile.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Hejaz Mountains

Rugged volcanic peaks and black basalt fields as the flight departs the Arabian Peninsula.

🌊

Red Sea Crossing

Deep blue waters and coral reefs visible near the coastline of Egypt's Eastern Desert.

🐍

The Nile River

A striking contrast of fertile green banks against the surrounding golden desert sands of Upper Egypt.

🏜️

Tassili n'Ajjer

Breathtaking sandstone plateaus and prehistoric rock formations in the heart of the Algerian Sahara.

🏔️

High Atlas Range

Snow-capped peaks and deep, verdant valleys as you cross into Moroccan territory.

Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Watch closely during the final hour of flight for the most dramatic views of the High Atlas mountains. If flying overnight, look for the lights of Luxor and Aswan along the Nile.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏜️

An-Nafud Desert

Expansive red sand dunes of the northern Arabian Peninsula stretching toward the horizon.

🏙️

Cairo & Delta

Distal views of the sprawling Egyptian capital and the massive, fan-shaped Nile Delta.

🌊

Mediterranean Coast

The distant shimmer of the Mediterranean Sea along the Libyan and Algerian northern borders.

⛰️

Tell Atlas Mountains

The northern range of the Atlas mountains, offering views of pine forests and rugged cliffs.

🌊

Atlantic Approach

Sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the white architecture of Casablanca during the final turn.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Mediterranean horizon. It offers a broader view of the vast Sahara expanse and is generally better for seeing the urban sprawl of northern coastal cities from a distance.
