CCE

When landing at Capital International Airport (CCE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 19L means the aircraft approaches from the north heading south, so the New Administrative Capital's skyline sits off to the right (west) side during the final descent. That includes the distinctive Iconic Tower and the government district, with Cairo's outskirts and the Mokattam hills visible further in the distance. The left side mostly overlooks open desert with little to see. Notable sights include: Iconic Tower (Africa's tallest building), New Administrative Capital government district, Al Fustat/Mokattam hills in the distance, eastern desert fringe of greater Cairo.
