Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the fertile Nile Delta, the sprawling metropolis of Cairo, and the stunning coral reefs of the northern Red Sea before the descent into Jeddah.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Mediterranean Shoreline

Stunning turquoise waters along the Libyan and Egyptian coastlines shortly after departure.

🏙️

Cairo & Nile Delta

The vivid transition from barren desert to lush green fertile lands and the massive urban sprawl.

🚢

Gulf of Suez

Views of the northern tip of the Red Sea often dotted with cargo ships waiting for the canal.

⛰️

Sinai Peninsula

The rugged, mountainous terrain of the southern Sinai region visible in the distance.

🪸

Red Sea Coral Reefs

Incredible turquoise patterns of submerged coral formations near the Saudi Arabian coast.

Request a seat on the left for the best views of the Nile Delta and Cairo. On evening flights, the city lights of Cairo provide a breathtaking spectacle. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Red Sea reefs during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Gulf of Gabes

Beautiful coastal views of southern Tunisia and the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Sahara Dunes

Vast, undulating orange sand dunes of the Libyan and Western Deserts extending to the horizon.

🐍

Upper Nile Ribbon

The narrow green ribbon of the Nile valley cutting sharply through the surrounding desert.

🏔️

Red Sea Mountains

Jagged, dark peaks of the Eastern Desert and the Hijaz mountain range in Saudi Arabia.

⛲

Jeddah Waterfront

Views of the King Fahd's Fountain and the evolving Red Sea coastline during arrival.

The right side is ideal for desert enthusiasts, offering endless vistas of the Sahara and the rugged Eastern Desert mountains. During daytime flights, use a polarized lens for photography to capture the intense textures of the dunes. Be prepared for strong afternoon sunlight on this side.
