Which side of the plane to sit from Port Bouet Airport (Abidjan) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?

Abidjan Plateau
Excellent views of the Ébrié Lagoon and the modern skyline of the 'Manhattan of Africa' upon departure.
Ahaggar Mountains
Massive volcanic peaks and high plateaus in the central Sahara, offering some of the continent's most alien landscapes.
Grand Erg Oriental
A literal sea of sand with massive star-shaped dunes that glow orange and gold in the sunlight.
Gulf of Hammamet
The sparkling turquoise coastline of eastern Tunisia as the plane turns toward Tunis.
Carthage and Lake Tunis
Aerial views of the historic ruins of Carthage and the causeway crossing the shallow Lake of Tunis before touchdown.
This is the side for desert lovers; the Hoggar (Ahaggar) massif is a major highlight usually visible mid-flight. For the best photography of the sand dunes, mid-morning flights are ideal as the shadows define the dune ridges. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the mountain views.

Deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean immediately after takeoff from Abidjan.
Erg Chech
A vast region of the Sahara characterized by long, linear sand dunes stretching across the Algerian border.
Saharan Atlas
The rugged northern ridges that separate the Sahara Desert from the Mediterranean basin.
Western Tunis
Views of the suburban outskirts and the green hills of Northern Tunisia during the final descent.
Watch for the stark 'line of life' where the green tropical forests of the south suddenly give way to the arid Sahel. If flying during the late afternoon, the left side offers a front-row seat to spectacular Saharan sunsets, though glare can be intense.
