Which side of the plane to sit from Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier) to Bou Chekif Airport (Tiaret)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic transition from the Mediterranean coastline over the lush Mitidja plain and into the rugged peaks of the Tell Atlas mountains.

Blida Atlas Peaks

High-altitude views of Mount ChrΓ©a and its dense cedar forests, often covered in snow during winter.

Titteri Massif

Rugged mountain terrain and deep valleys as the flight moves into the interior of the country.

For the most scenic experience, book a window seat on the left side during morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Atlas mountain ridges. Look out for the distinct change in vegetation as the plane crosses the mountains into the semi-arid interior.
