Which side of the plane to sit from Rabah Bitat Airport (Annaba) to Es Senia Airport (Oran)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous, stunning panoramic view of the Mediterranean coastline, including the dramatic cliffs of the Kabylie region and the sprawling white architecture of Algiers.
Gulf of Bejaia
A spectacular deep-water bay where the mountains of Petit Kabylie plunge directly into the Mediterranean Sea.
Algiers the White
A breathtaking aerial view of the capital city's amphitheater-like layout surrounding the massive Bay of Algiers.
Tipaza Archaeological Site
Visible ancient Roman ruins situated right on the edge of the turquoise sea, near the shadow of Mount Chenoua.
Mostaganem Coastline
Long stretches of sandy beaches and the distinctive cliffs of the western Algerian shoreline before the descent into Oran.
Port of Arzew
Massive industrial maritime infrastructure and gas terminals that mark the final approach into the Oran region.
This is the premier side for coastal views. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During morning flights, the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the coastline and the blue Mediterranean water for photography.
Djurdjura National Park
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Tell Atlas mountain range, often snow-capped in winter.
Chrea National Park
Dense ancient cedar forests covering the mountains south of Algiers, providing a lush green contrast.
Chelif Valley
The largest river valley in Algeria, showcasing organized agricultural patterns and winding riverbeds.
Ouarsenis Massif
The 'Eye of the World' mountain range, featuring rugged terrain and high-altitude plateaus as you approach the west.
Sit on this side during late afternoon flights to enjoy the warm golden hour lighting up the Atlas mountain ridges. It provides better depth perception of the inland topography and the transition from mountains to the High Plateaus.
