Algiers Bay
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Algiers port area immediately after takeoff.
Djurdjura National Park
Dramatic snow-capped limestone peaks of the Kabylie mountain range.
Chott Melrhir
The massive endorheic salt lake that sits below sea level, showing striking white and pink hues.
Grand Erg Oriental
The start of the immense Saharan sand sea with rolling orange dunes visible during the descent.
El Oued Architecture
Unique aerial view of the traditional 'domed' rooftops that define the architecture of Guemar and El Oued.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the clearest view of the Chott Melrhir salt flats, which are particularly vibrant after rare rainfall in the winter months.

Algiers Casbah
Aerial perspective of the historic city center and the modern urban sprawl of the capital.
Chréa National Park
Lush cedar forests and the peaks of the Blida Atlas range visible to the southwest.
Mitidja Plain
The fertile agricultural heartland of northern Algeria, appearing as a green patchwork quilt.
Biskra Oases
Vast emerald-green palm groves contrasting sharply against the surrounding beige desert floor.
Saharan Horizon
Expansive views of the desert horizon, especially beautiful during late afternoon 'Golden Hour' flights.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Sahara. During the descent into Guemar, look for the 'Ghout'—traditional sunken palm groves—which are more easily spotted on this side depending on the approach pattern.
