TUNBEY

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Mediterranean islands, including Sicily, Crete, and Cyprus, before providing a dramatic reveal of the Mount Lebanon range upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Carthage & Sidi Bou Said

Immediately after takeoff, catch the ancient ruins of Carthage and the iconic blue-and-white village perched on the cliffside.

🇮🇹

Sicily & Pantelleria

Aerial views of the Italian island of Pantelleria and the southern rugged coastline of Sicily near Agrigento.

⛰️

Crete's Mountains

Passing south of Greece, the snow-capped peaks of the Lefka Ori range on Crete are often visible above the clouds.

🇨🇾

Southern Cyprus

Clear views of the Akrotiri Peninsula and the city of Limassol as the flight traverses the Levantine Sea.

🏔️

Mount Lebanon Range

A stunning descent toward Beirut featuring the dramatic limestone ridges of the Lebanese mountains falling into the sea.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you while viewing the European coastlines. On approach to BEY, the left side usually gets a sweeping view of the Beirut northern coastline and the Pigeon Rocks (Raouche) if the plane loops from the north.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
🌊

Mediterranean Deep

Expansive views of the deep azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, showcasing various shades of blue.

🇪🇬

Nile Delta Fringes

On very clear days and southerly routes, the faint green haze of the Egyptian Nile Delta can be seen on the southern horizon.

🏙️

Beirut Southern Suburbs

As the aircraft lines up with the runway at BEY, you get a close-up view of the densely populated southern districts of the capital.

🌅

Sunset Horizon

On evening flights, the right side captures the full transition of the sun setting over the Mediterranean horizon.

The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy vast maritime horizons and sunset photography. During the final minutes of the flight, this side provides a better look at the Rafic Hariri Airport's proximity to the coastline. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the sea surface.
