ALGHRM

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Algiers cityscape during departure and provides a better perspective of the Saharan Atlas transition and the industrial layout of the Hassi R'Mel gas field upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Algiers Casbah

Excellent views of the historic white buildings and the Great Mosque of Algiers shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Chréa National Park

Look down at the dense Atlas Cedar forests covering the slopes of the Blida Atlas range.

🛤️

Trans-Saharan Highway

Trace the winding path of the N1 highway as it cuts through the mountains toward the south.

⛽

Hassi R'Mel Infrastructure

A clear view of one of the world's largest gas hubs with its intricate network of pipelines and industrial plants.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. On approach to HRM, look for the 'flares' and massive industrial footprint of the gas field, which is particularly striking at dusk.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Algiers Bay

Panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the eastern harbor of the capital city.

🏔️

Djurdjura Peaks

To the distant east, the rugged and often snow-capped mountains of the Kabylie region are visible.

🌾

High Plateaus

Vast stretches of agricultural land and steppes that bridge the mountains and the desert.

⚪

Endorheic Lakes

Glimpses of seasonal salt lakes (sebkhas) that appear as bright white patches in the arid landscape.

Sit on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Mediterranean. It is also the better side for viewing the distant, dramatic silhouettes of the Djurdjura mountains if atmospheric visibility is high.
