Algiers Bay
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the white city of Algiers as the plane climbs.
Djurdjura Range
Jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Tell Atlas, including the famous Lalla Khedidja summit.
Kabylie Forests
Dense cedar and oak forests covering the steep valleys of the Tizi Ouzou and Bouira regions.
Timgad Vicinity
On the descent, you may spot the grid-like layout of the ancient Roman ruins of Timgad near Batna.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the best angle for the Kabylie mountains and the dramatic entry into the Batna basin. In winter, the snow on the Djurdjura peaks is a must-see.

Mitidja Plain
The fertile agricultural heartland of Algeria, visible shortly after takeoff from Algiers.
Blida Atlas
Views of the Chréa National Park and the mountainous ridges that separate the coast from the interior.
High Plateaus
The vast, semi-arid 'Hauts Plateaux' displaying unique patterns of steppe vegetation and seasonal salt lakes.
Ideal for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour over the High Plateaus. Look out for 'Sebkhas' (salt lakes) which appear as white crusts on the desert floor during the dry season.
