TIP → AMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular sequence of world-famous landmarks, including the winding Nile River, the engineering marvel of the Suez Canal, and the breathtaking turquoise waters of the Dead Sea during the final descent.
Sahara Landscapes
Vast stretches of the Libyan and Western Egyptian deserts featuring dramatic plateaus and shifting sand dunes.
The Nile River
A clear view of the 'ribbon of life' as it cuts a deep green path through the stark surrounding desert.
Suez Canal
A high-altitude perspective of the canal, where you can see ships transiting between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
Sinai Mountains
The rugged, jagged peaks and red-rock canyons of the southern and central Sinai Peninsula.
The Dead Sea
Stunning views of the salt-fringed turquoise waters at the world's lowest point as you approach Amman.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to see the Suez Canal and the Dead Sea clearly. Afternoon flights offer beautiful warm lighting on the desert terrain and the Sinai mountains.
Mediterranean Coastline
Continuous views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea meeting the golden North African coast.
Alexandria Cityscape
The sprawling ancient port city of Alexandria visible as you fly along the northern Egyptian coast.
Nile Delta
A striking visual transition where the yellow desert suddenly turns into a lush, green agricultural fan.
Port Said
The northern gateway to the Suez Canal, often filled with large cargo ships waiting to enter the Mediterranean.
Sit on the left for coastal views and the lush greenery of the Nile Delta. This side is better for mid-day flights as it avoids the harshest southern sun glare, making it easier to photograph the coastline without reflections.
