Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the lush Mitidja plain and the Blida Atlas mountains into the deep desert oases of the Oued Righ valley.

πŸ™οΈ

Algiers Metropolitan Area

Aerial views of the capital city, the Bay of Algiers, and the sprawling Mitidja agricultural plain.

🌲

ChrΓ©a National Park

The ancient cedar forests and rugged terrain of the Blida Atlas mountains directly below.

⛰️

Saharan Atlas

The final mountain barrier before the Sahara, featuring unique geological folds and eroded canyons.

🌴

Oued Righ Valley

A remarkable ribbon of green palm groves and date plantations emerging from the desert floor.

🏘️

Touggourt Cityscape

The distinct circular urban layout and traditional architecture of the 'City of a Thousand Domes'.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh eastern glare. Keep your eyes peeled for the 'Chotts' (salt lakes) which appear as shimmering white patches. The descent into Touggourt offers a spectacular view of the desert oases and the contrast between the green palms and golden sands.

Mediterranean Coastline

Stunning views of the coastline east of Algiers as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.

πŸ”οΈ

Djurdjura Mountains

The rugged limestone peaks of the Kabylie region, often snow-capped during the winter months.

Kabylie Villages

Traditional Berber settlements dotting the high ridges of the Atlas range.

🏜️

Grand Erg Oriental

As you approach the south, the vast expanse of the eastern sand sea begins to appear on the horizon.

Opt for an early morning flight to see the sun rising over the Mediterranean. During winter, look for the 'Lalla Khedidja' peak, which is the highest point in the Djurdjura range. This side provides a great perspective of the transition from forest to steppe.
