Which side of the plane to sit from Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier) to El Bayadh Airport (El Bayadh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Algiers coastline and the Great Mosque during takeoff, followed by the most dramatic mountain ridges of the Saharan Atlas upon descent.
Algiers Skyline
An aerial view of the 'White City,' including the Casbah and the towering minaret of Djamaa el Djazaïr.
Tipaza Coastline
The sparkling turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and the archaeological ruins visible during the initial climb.
Ouarsenis Massif
Dramatic limestone peaks of the Tell Atlas, known as the 'Eye of the World' by locals.
Djebel Ksel
Striking geological folds and deep canyons of the Saharan Atlas immediately surrounding El Bayadh.
This is the best side for photography during the late afternoon, as the setting sun highlights the orange and red rock formations of the Saharan Atlas. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for the city view.
Mitidja Plain
The fertile agricultural basin of Algiers, showcasing a patchwork of green fields and citrus groves.
Chréa National Park
A view of the Blida Atlas mountains, featuring dense cedar forests and snow-capped peaks in winter.
High Plateaus
Vast, semi-arid steppe landscapes that stretch toward the horizon between the two Atlas ranges.
Hauts Plateaux Railway
The winding tracks of the strategic rail line cutting through the arid landscape near Tiaret.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the lush green coastal vegetation to the yellow-brown hues of the steppe.
