Mitidja Plain
Fertile agricultural lands just south of Algiers before the mountain ascent.
Grand Erg Occidental
An endless sea of massive, crescent-shaped orange sand dunes stretching to the horizon.
Tademaït Plateau
A vast, flat, and blackened rocky desert (hammada) that looks like the surface of Mars.
Sebkha of In Salah
The shimmering white salt flats located just north of the final destination.
Sahara Horizons
Sweeping views of the 'empty quarter' where the sky and sand merge into a hazy line.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the dunes. Look for the long shadows cast by the sand dunes, which reveal the intricate textures of the desert. This side also offers a clear view of the unique 'creeping sand' phenomena near the In Salah airport where dunes actively encroach on the town.

Algiers Bay
A stunning aerial view of the 'White City' and its crescent-shaped coastline upon departure.
Tell Atlas Peaks
Deep green valleys and rugged limestone ridges of the northern mountain range.
Saharan Atlas
The dramatic transition zone where the mountains meet the northern edge of the desert.
M'zab Valley
The unique, densely packed pentapolis architecture of Ghardaïa visible in the distance.
El Menia Oasis
A vibrant green palm grove and the ancient ksar (fortress) surrounded by sand.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated landscape without the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides the best view of the historic M'zab Valley settlements if the pilot follows the eastern airway corridor. Keep an eye out for the contrast between the yellow sand and the turquoise water of the Oued M'zab.
