Djurdjura Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Tell Atlas range visible shortly after departure from Algiers.
Saharan Transition
A fascinating visual shift from lush Mediterranean vegetation to the arid, golden tones of the desert.
Chott el Djerid
The shimmering expanse of Tunisia's largest salt flat, known for its surreal colors.
Grand Erg Oriental
The northern edges of the Sahara's massive sand dunes stretching toward the horizon.
Nafusa Mountains
The rugged limestone escarpment and plateaus that define the landscape of northwestern Libya.
The right side is best for geological enthusiasts. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can be harsh but offers beautiful golden-hour lighting over the Saharan dunes. Look out for the Atlas Mountains in winter when they are heavily covered in snow.
