Sana'a Skyline
A view of the high plateau and the ancient architectural footprint of the capital shortly after takeoff.
Jabal Dhamar
The rugged volcanic landscape and high-altitude plateaus of the Dhamar governorate.
Ibb Terraces
The 'Green Province' of Yemen, featuring thousands of ancient agricultural stone terraces carved into the mountains.
Mount Sabir
One of the highest mountains in Yemen, standing at 3,000 meters and overlooking the city of Taiz.
Book a morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the green terraces of Ibb. The left side is particularly impressive during the monsoon season (July-September) when the mountains are vibrant green. Look for the white stone villages perched on the very edges of the ridges.

Western Escarpment
Dramatic drop-offs where the high mountains descend toward the Tihamah coastal plain.
Cliffside Villages
Remarkable stone architecture of traditional Yemeni villages built into the steepest cliffs for defense.
Red Sea Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, the distant hazy shimmer of the Red Sea coastline is visible to the west.
Winding Passes
The complex network of mountain roads connecting the northern highlands to the southern regions.
The right side is best for observing the dramatic geological shift from high-altitude plateau to coastal desert. Watch for the 'sea of clouds' that often forms in the valleys below during the early morning hours, creating a surreal landscape of mountain islands.
