Embarking on an aerial journey through the historic air route of Palestine, we soar above the timeless landscapes. From old Jerusalem to Jericho, our eyes capture breathtaking views of the ancient cities and their intertwining paths. As we continue westward over Judean mountains, nature's grandeur unfolds beneath us. Transitioning to the Baghdad-Amman desert air route, our aircraft Apollo carries us across vast stretches of barren land. In the distance, a town emerges like a mirage in this desolate expanse. Looking down upon houses scattered amidst the endless sands, we witness resilience against all odds. The scene transforms as cultivated fields appear below us - an oasis amidst aridity. Lowering altitude near Rutba wells along this desert path, other aircrafts named Hanno accompany us on this adventurous journey halfway between two remarkable destinations. Crossing over Tigris River groves that thrive against harsh conditions reminds us of nature's ability to adapt and flourish even in adversity. Approaching Amman, a Roman theatre stands tall as a testament to centuries past while ancient excavations tell stories untold. This captivating air route offers not only stunning vistas but also glimpses into history etched upon these lands. Join us as we traverse through time and space along these enchanting skies.
