Edough Massif
Immediately after takeoff, see the forested slopes of the Edough mountains surrounding Annaba.
Petite Kabylie
Dense cork oak forests and deep valleys as the plane cruises over the Jijel and Bejaia provinces.
Djurdjura Mountains
The dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Djurdjura National Park, often snow-capped in winter months.
Kabyle Villages
Traditional red-roofed Berber villages perched precariously on top of high mountain ridges.
Mitidja Plain
The vast, fertile agricultural plains opening up as the aircraft begins its descent into Algiers.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Atlas Mountains. In winter (Dec-Mar), watch for snow on the Djurdjura peaks. For midday flights, the sun is to the south, so there may be some glare; morning flights offer the best lighting for mountain photography.

Gulf of Annaba
A sweeping view of the Mediterranean coastline and the port of Annaba shortly after departure.
Cap de Fer
A prominent rocky peninsula jutting into the turquoise sea between Annaba and Skikda.
Gulf of Bejaia
View the dramatic 'Yemma Gouraya' mountain which guards the historic port city of Bejaia from the sea.
Bay of Algiers
As you turn for landing, enjoy a panoramic view of the 'White City' curving around the Mediterranean bay.
Choose the right side if you prefer coastal scenery and the deep blue of the Mediterranean. This side remains in the shade for most of the flight when traveling west, providing clearer, glare-free views of the shoreline and the Algiers cityscape during the final approach.
