Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean approach, showcasing the stunning transition from the rugged Taurus Mountains to the vibrant Israeli coastline and the Tel Aviv skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Jagged, snow-capped peaks of southern Turkey that provide a stark contrast to the blue sea.

🌊

Gulf of Iskenderun

The deep blue waters where the Anatolian landmass meets the eastern Mediterranean.

🏝️

Cyprus Island

Visible in the distance to the west as the plane cruises over the Mediterranean Sea.

🏖️

Israeli Coastline

The long stretch of white sandy beaches from Haifa down to the central Sharon plain.

🌆

Tel Aviv Waterfront

The dense skyline of the 'White City' and its Mediterranean harbor during the final banking maneuvers.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the orange glow over the Mediterranean. As the aircraft typically approaches Ben Gurion from the sea, the right side offers the best panoramic view of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

🏙️

Tbilisi Skyline

Aerial views of the Mtkvari River, the Narikala Fortress, and the modern bridge architecture during takeoff.

⛰️
