Search flights from SVX to HRG
Volga River Bend
Look for the massive 'Samara Bend' of Europe's longest river during the first third of the flight.
Turkish Riviera
Spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline and the high Taurus mountain range in Southern Turkey.
Nile Delta
The stark contrast between the lush green vegetation of the Delta and the surrounding golden desert sands.
Cairo & Giza
On clear days, the sprawling Egyptian capital and the faint outlines of the Pyramids can be spotted on the horizon.
Eastern Desert Dunes
Marvel at the vast, desolate beauty of the Egyptian Eastern Desert as the plane prepares for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Nile. During the descent into Hurghada, the transition from the arid desert to the coastal city is best captured from this side. Use a polarizing filter to cut through the desert haze for clearer shots of Cairo.
