Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Kopet Dag mountains, the iconic snow-capped Mount Ararat, and a stunning aerial perspective of the Israeli coastline during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Kopet Dag Mountains

Stark, rocky ridges forming the natural border between Turkmenistan and Iran shortly after takeoff.

🗻

Mount Ararat

The legendary dormant volcano and highest peak in Turkey, often visible with its permanent ice cap.

🏜️

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys as the flight crosses southern Turkey towards the Mediterranean.

🏝️

Island of Cyprus

Clear views of the Karpas Peninsula and the rugged southern coastline of the island.

🌊

Mediterranean Seaboard

The deep blue transition from the sea to the golden sands of the Levantine coast.

🏙️

Tel Aviv Shoreline

Panoramic views of the 'White City' and its famous beaches during the descent into Ben Gurion.

Choose the left side for a high probability of seeing Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. On daytime flights, the sun will be mostly behind or above you, reducing glare for photography. For the arrival, the left side typically offers a better view of the Tel Aviv skyline as planes often approach from the west over the sea and bank toward the airport.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

Vast expanses of red and gold sand dunes stretching across the horizon in Uzbekistan.

🏙️

Baku & Absheron

The capital of Azerbaijan and its unique peninsula extending deep into the Caspian Sea.

🏔️

Greater Caucasus

Distance views of the massive mountain range, including some of Europe's highest peaks like Elbrus.

💧

Lake Van

The largest lake in Turkey, known for its striking turquoise alkaline waters and surrounding highlands.

🏖️

Turkish Riviera

The picturesque coastline near Antalya, featuring steep cliffs and hidden Mediterranean coves.

✈️

TLV Final Approach

Views of the Judean Hills and the sprawling suburbs of the Gush Dan region before touchdown.

The right side is excellent for viewing the Greater Caucasus peaks to the north and the unique shape of the Absheron Peninsula. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the right side may experience significant glare from the sun. Look out for Lake Van about halfway through the journey for some of the most vibrant blue colors visible from altitude.
