Chott Ech Chergui
A massive, shimmering white salt lake that dominates the landscape of the High Plateaus.
Grand Erg Occidental
An endless sea of crescent-shaped sand dunes that glow deep orange under the Saharan sun.
Gourara Oases
Patches of intense green palm groves that emerge like jewels from the red desert soil near Adrar.
Adrar Red Architecture
Views of the distinctive red-mud buildings and traditional foggara irrigation systems during the final approach.
This side is the clear winner for iconic Saharan scenery. Afternoon flights are ideal as the low sun angle highlights the textures and shadows of the sand dunes. Look out approximately 40 to 50 minutes into the flight for the most spectacular dune formations of the Grand Erg.
