Mediterranean Coast
Glittering views of the Algiers coastline and the turquoise waters during the initial ascent from ALG.
Djurdjura National Park
The iconic limestone peaks of the Tell Atlas, featuring Lalla Khedidja, which is often snow-capped in winter.
Kabylie Ridge Villages
Traditional Berber villages perched precariously on high mountain ridges, offering unique architectural patterns.
Sebaou River Valley
The winding riverbed and lush greenery of the Tizi Ouzou region cutting through the mountainous terrain.
Book a window seat on the left for the best mountain photography. Early morning flights provide crisp lighting on the Djurdjura peaks; however, avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the sharp vertical drops of the Atlas range.

Mitidja Plain
The fertile agricultural heartland of Algeria, visible as a patchwork of green fields shortly after departure.
Blidean Atlas
Distant views of the forested mountains including the Chrea National Park area known for its cedar trees.
High Plateaus
Vast, rolling semi-arid landscapes and cereal fields as the plane approaches the high-altitude region of Setif.
The right side is best during late afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare. It is the better choice for observing the transition from coastal plains to the semi-arid steppe landscapes typical of the Sétifis region.
