Danube River
Aerial views of the winding Danube and the Vienna Basin immediately following departure from VIE.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic mountain ridges stretching across the Balkan Peninsula through Bosnia and Montenegro.
Aegean Islands
Glimpses of the Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Mediterranean as you cross toward Africa.
Eastern Desert
The stark, jagged peaks of the Arabo-Nubian Shield mountains in Egypt, offering a lunar-like landscape.
Red Sea Coastline
Vibrant coral reefs and luxury resorts along the Marsa Alam coast during the descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the desert and the sea. On morning flights, the sun will be on the left initially but will move as you head south, so bring sunglasses. The approach into RMF often involves a turn over the sea, making the left side perfect for viewing the reefs.

Vast stretches of the Mediterranean between the southern tip of Italy and Greece.
Nile Delta & Valley
The lush green ribbon of the Nile River visible in the distance across the Egyptian desert.
Sahara Fringe

The right side is ideal for avoiding the harsh glare of the morning sun. It offers a better perspective of the Nile River's greenery against the desert backdrop if the visibility is high. Late afternoon flights will enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Sahara on this side.
