Algiers Bay
Aerial views of the Port of Algiers and the Great Mosque of Algiers shortly after takeoff.
Blidean Atlas
The high peaks of Chréa National Park, often capped with snow during the winter months.
Mitidja Plain
A rich agricultural belt that contrasts sharply with the mountain ranges ahead.
Highland Chotts
Seasonal salt lakes that create shimmering white patches on the semi-arid High Plateaus.
Saharan Atlas
Dramatic ridges of the Djebel Amour range marking the gateway to the Sahara desert.
Opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the mountain ridges. Keep a close watch about 15 minutes after takeoff for the Chréa peaks. In spring, the contrast between the green north and the orange-tinted south is most striking.
