Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Austrian Alps, the Croatian coastline, and a more direct view of the Nile River valley and the Eastern Desert during the descent into Egypt.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Eastern Alps

Majestic snow-capped Austrian peaks visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏖️

Adriatic Coast

The jagged, beautiful coastline of Croatia and the sapphire waters of the Adriatic Sea.

🚢

Suez Canal

The world-famous shipping artery visible as a thin line with cargo ships queuing in the Gulf of Suez.

🐍

The Nile River

The lush green ribbon of the Nile valley providing a stark contrast to the surrounding golden desert.

🏗️

Hurghada Coastline

A bird's-eye view of the sprawling holiday resorts and intricate coral reef formations near the airport.

🏜️

Eastern Desert

The vast, desolate beauty of the Egyptian mountains between the Nile and the Red Sea.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to see the Alps illuminated by the sun. As you approach Egypt, keep your eyes peeled for the Suez Canal and the incredible transition from desert to sea. Sit ahead of the wing for the clearest view of the coastline during landing.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Prague & Bohemia

Aerial views of the historic Czech capital and the rolling landscapes of the Bohemian region.

🎡

Vienna & Danube

Spot the sprawling Austrian capital and the winding blue path of the Danube River.

⛰️

Balkan Peaks

Cross over the rugged mountain ranges of Bulgaria and Northern Greece.

🏝️

Aegean Islands

Clusters of Greek islands like Rhodes and Karpathos dotting the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

🏜️

Sinai Peninsula

The dramatic, arid landscape of the Sinai mountains and the Gulf of Aqaba in the distance.

🌊

Red Sea Entry

The striking transition from the Egyptian mainland to the turquoise coral reefs of the Red Sea.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Balkans. This side is excellent for spotting the Greek islands during mid-flight. Look out for the lights of Cairo far to the west if flying at night.
