Moscow Suburbs
Expansive views of the southern Moscow metropolitan area and the surrounding Russian forests shortly after takeoff.
Nile Delta
The incredible sight of the fan-shaped green fertile land clashing directly with the harsh Sahara desert.
Cairo & Giza
Potential distant views of the Great Pyramids and the vast urban landscape of Egypt's capital city.
Hurghada Resorts
A bird's-eye view of the coastal hotel strips, lagoons, and the city of Hurghada during the final approach.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Sahara. It is particularly rewarding for seeing the Nile River valley. If the flight path follows the standard arrival route, you will have a front-row seat to the resort architecture and the vibrant colors of the Hurghada coastline before landing.

The dramatic, sun-scorched mountains and desert valleys of the Sinai region to the east.
