ALG → MUW
Which side of the plane to sit from Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier) to Ghriss Airport (Ghriss)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Algiers coastline upon departure and a stunning perspective of the 'White City' before heading over the fertile Dahra range.
Bay of Algiers
A breathtaking aerial view of the capital city and its crescent-shaped harbor immediately after takeoff.
Mitidja Plain
The lush, green agricultural heartland of northern Algeria, dotted with citrus groves and small towns.
Mediterranean Horizon
On clear days, the shimmering blue of the Mediterranean Sea remains visible to the north as you head southwest.
Dahra Mountains
The rolling hills and semi-arid ridges that characterize the landscape between the coast and the interior.
Mascara Vineyards
Distinctive patchwork patterns of the famous Mascara vineyards appearing during the final descent into Ghriss.
The right side is ideal for urban photography during departure from ALG. Aim for an afternoon flight to avoid direct sun glare and to see the Mascara region bathed in warm, golden light before landing.
Blidéen Atlas
Dramatic views of the rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Atlas mountains directly south of Algiers.
Chiffa Gorges
The winding mountain passes and steep cliffs visible as the aircraft traverses the Tell Atlas range.
Ouarsenis Massif
The prominent limestone ridges of the Ouarsenis, one of the most significant mountain blocks in western Algeria.
Chelif River
Algeria's longest river snaking through the agricultural plains far below the flight path.
Recommended for those who prefer rugged mountain landscapes. During morning flights, the sun illuminates the southern ridges perfectly, highlighting the geological textures of the Atlas ranges.
