TLV → AMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a breathtaking panorama of the Dead Sea, the Judean Desert's dramatic canyons, and distant glimpses of Jerusalem's historic skyline.
Jerusalem Views
On clear days, the recognizable landmarks of the Holy City, including the Dome of the Rock, are visible in the distance.
The Dead Sea
A spectacular aerial view of the turquoise water and white salt formations at the lowest point on Earth.
Judean Desert
The stark, dramatic topography of deep wadis and desert cliffs dropping toward the Jordan Rift.
Madaba Plateau
The historic agricultural plains around the 'City of Mosaics' just south of Amman.
Queen Alia Surroundings
The modern industrial and residential growth surrounding Jordan's primary international gateway.
This is the premier side for photography. The flight is very short (often under 30 minutes), so stay alert immediately after reaching cruising altitude. The Dead Sea appears quickly. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting to capture the deep colors of the desert and the water without glare.
Tel Aviv Coastline
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean beaches and the white city skyline immediately after takeoff.
Samaria Hills
The rugged, rolling landscape of the central highlands dotted with ancient olive groves.
Jordan River Basin
The narrow, winding green ribbon of the Jordan River cutting through the arid valley floor.
Ajloun Mountains
The surprisingly lush and forested peaks of northern Jordan visible during the descent.
Amman Suburbs
A sprawling view of the distinct white limestone architecture as the plane turns for its final approach.
For the best experience, choose a seat toward the front to avoid wing obstruction. This side is particularly beautiful during morning flights when the sun illuminates the western slopes of the Jordan Valley. Watch for the sharp contrast between the green valley and the desert plateau.
