While left offers interesting delta views during takeoff, the right side dominates the landing approach with spectacular red rock geology and canyon systems that are far more visually distinctive. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.
Flight Path
Eastern Mediterranean coastline (Syria/Lebanon region), Anti-Lebanon Mountains, Syrian Desert plateau, Jordanian highlands, Dead Sea depression, Negev Desert, and the transition into the Colorado Plateau province as the flight approaches southwestern Utah. The route crosses from the Levantine coast inland over increasingly arid terrain, with the most dramatic topographic change occurring over the Jordanian highlands and the final approach over the high desert basins of the American Southwest.
