Our Recommendation

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Bay of Algiers

Aerial view of the capital's crescent-shaped bay and the historic Casbah immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Cap Carbon

One of the highest lighthouses in the world perched on a steep cliff near Bejaia.

🏖️

Gulf of Jijel

Stunning views of the 'Corniche Kabyle' with its hidden coves and crystalline waters.

🚢

Port of Skikda

A major industrial hub and port city known for its deep blue waters and refined architecture.

📍

Cap de Garde

The scenic promontory marking the western entrance to the Gulf of Annaba during the final descent.

Choose a window seat on the left for coastal views. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the turquoise water. During descent, look for the 'Gouraya National Park' cliffs near Bejaia.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Djurdjura Mountains

The rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Great Kabylie range, reaching heights of over 2,300 meters.

🏘️

Kabylie Villages

Traditional Berber villages strikingly perched on the narrow ridges of the Tell Atlas mountains.

🌲

Taza National Park

Dense cork oak and cedar forests covering the mountain slopes south of Jijel.

💧

Lake Fetzara

A large freshwater wetland near Annaba, often filled with migratory birds during winter months.

⛪

Basilica of Saint Augustine

The iconic 19th-century basilica standing on a hill overlooking the ruins of Hippo Regius near the airport.

The right side is best for mountain lovers. In winter (December to March), the snow-covered Djurdjura peaks are spectacular. Afternoon flights offer warm, golden-hour lighting on the mountain ridges.
