Amman Cityscape

Sit on the left for the best mountain views early in the flight. As you approach Amman, usually from the west or north, the left side provides the most dramatic views of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Balkan coast without the glare of the southern sun.
