Red Sea Coastline
Stunning views of the coral reefs and turquoise waters along the western coast of the Arabian Peninsula.
Sinai Peninsula
Dramatic desert landscapes and rugged mountain peaks where the African and Asian continents meet.
The Dead Sea
The lowest point on Earth, easily identifiable by its deep blue color and white salt-encrusted shores.
Levantine Coastline
A sweeping view of the Mediterranean shore, including the coastal cities of Gaza, Tel Aviv, and Haifa during the descent.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. The highlight is the Dead Sea, which usually appears about 45 minutes before landing. During the descent into Beirut, the left side often provides a beautiful panoramic view of the city's waterfront and the Raouche Rocks if the flight path approaches from the south.

Sarawat Mountains
High-altitude peaks and green terraced landscapes visible shortly after departure from Sana'a.
Harrat Rahat
Vast, dark volcanic fields in Saudi Arabia that create a stark contrast with the surrounding desert sands.
Amman Cityscape
The sprawling white-stone hills of the Jordanian capital are visible as the flight crosses into the Levant.
Mount Hermon
The highest peak in the Anti-Lebanon range, often capped with snow during the winter and spring months.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain ranges of Yemen and Jordan perfectly. Keep an eye out for Mount Hermon (Jabal el-Sheikh) on the border of Lebanon and Syria; its snowy peak is a landmark for the beginning of the descent into Beirut. This side also offers great views of the Mount Lebanon range as you enter Lebanese airspace.
