The right side offers a spectacular aerial perspective of the Sahara's shifting sands and the most iconic view of the Pyramids of Giza during the final approach into Cairo.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Carthage Ruins

Ancient archaeological sites visible just south of the Tunis flight path.

🏜️

The Sahara

Breathtaking patterns of orange dunes and rocky plateaus across Libya and Egypt.

📉

Qattara Depression

One of the largest natural sinks in the world, appearing as a vast, low-lying basin.

📐

Pyramids of Giza

The world-famous ancient structures usually visible on the right during the Cairo descent.

🏙️

Cairo Suburbs

The dense, sandy-colored urban sprawl of the Egyptian capital emerging from the desert.

The right side is essential for seeing the Pyramids. During the typical approach from the west, the Giza plateau appears on the right. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the desert colors.

🌊

Gulf of Tunis

Expansive views of the Mediterranean as the flight departs Tunisia.

🏝️

Cape Bon Peninsula

The scenic northeastern tip of Tunisia reaching into the sea.

🏙️

Libyan Coastline

The rugged interface between the desert and the Mediterranean near Tripoli.

🏖️

Marsa Matruh

The sudden transition from arid terrain to the lush green vegetation of the delta.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side offers consistent views of the Mediterranean coastline and the green expansion of the Nile Delta.
