From the roof, you can see the entire Kotel plaza, the cemetery on the Mount of Olives, and a large portion of the Temple Mount (including the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque). In my opinion, the view from Aish's roof is unmatched compared to other views in the Old City.
Here is a short video clip I took with my iPod Touch last time I was on Aish's roof.
Aish's roof also houses a large, detailed replica of the Second Temple (see picture below). It's lachrymose to view this replica of the Second Temple, a reminder of the glory days of Jewish history, juxtaposed to the current Temple Mount.
