YYZCAI

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the snow-capped Alps, the stunning Mediterranean coastline, and the iconic Giza Pyramids during the Cairo approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-covered peaks in France, Switzerland, or Italy, depending on the day's route.

🌊

Adriatic Coast

Dramatic views of the turquoise waters and white limestone cliffs of the Croatian and Italian coastlines.

🏝️

Greek Archipelago

Clusters of white-washed islands scattered across the deep blue of the Ionian and Aegean seas.

🌅

Mediterranean Sunrise

Since most flights from YYZ are overnight, you will witness a spectacular sunrise over the Mediterranean.

📐

Giza Necropolis

On clear days, the Great Pyramids are often visible to the right as the plane maneuvers for its final descent into CAI.

The flight usually departs YYZ in the evening, so ensure your window is open as you cross over Europe. To spot the Pyramids on arrival, look west as the plane descends; they appear as small tan triangles just outside the urban sprawl of Giza.

7.5
🧊

Greenland Ice Sheets

If the flight path trends north, you can view the southern glaciers and icebergs of Greenland's coast.

🏰

Central Europe

Aerial views of historic European landscapes and the urban sprawl of cities like Brussels or Munich.

🏔️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged and forested terrain of Southeastern Europe provides a beautiful backdrop before the sea crossing.

🌿

Nile Delta

The massive green triangular fan of the Nile meeting the Mediterranean, contrasting sharply with the desert.

The best views of the Nile Delta are visible just 15-20 minutes before landing. Watch for the stark line where the lush green irrigated fields suddenly end and the Sahara desert begins.
