Djurdjura Mountain Range
The massive limestone peaks of the Tell Atlas, offering some of Algeria's most dramatic alpine scenery.
Lalla Khedidja
The highest peak in the region at 2,308 meters, which is frequently covered in snow during winter and spring.
Kabylie Villages
Traditional Berber villages perched precariously on steep mountain ridges and deep green hillsides.
Soummam River Valley
The winding riverbed that snakes through the mountains, guiding the flight path toward the airport.
Mount Yemma Gouraya
The legendary mountain overlooking Bejaia, recognizable by its distinct silhouette during the landing phase.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Because this is a very short flight (under 45 minutes), remain alert as soon as the plane reaches cruising altitude. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the limestone cliffs of the Djurdjura, turning them golden as the sun sets.

Bay of Algiers
Immediate views of the capital's horseshoe-shaped harbor and the Great Mosque of Algiers after takeoff.
Boumerdes Shoreline
Aerial views of the popular turquoise beaches and the coastal town of Corso.
Port of Dellys
A historic maritime town featuring an ancient Casbah and a prominent colonial-era lighthouse.
Gulf of Bejaia
The sweeping curve of the coast as the plane banks for its final approach into the Soummam Valley.
Sit on the left for unobstructed views of the Mediterranean horizon and coastal cliffs. This side is best during morning flights to avoid sun glare. Keep your camera ready during the final descent for views of the Cap Carbon lighthouse area.
