Which side of the plane to sit from Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier) to Zenata – Messali El Hadj Airport (Tlemcen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a stunning panoramic view of the Algerian coastline, featuring the Mediterranean Sea, historical coastal towns, and the dramatic cliffs near Oran.
Mediterranean Coastline
Continuous views of the deep blue sea meeting the diverse rocky and sandy shores of North Africa.
Tipaza & Mount Chenoua
A glimpse of the ancient Roman ruins and the massive coastal mountain standing guard over the sea.
Arzew Bay
A major industrial port area known for its significant maritime activity and gas infrastructure.
Oran Cityscape
Excellent views of Algeria's second-largest city, including the Fort of Santa Cruz perched on Mount Murdjadjo.
Rachgoun Island
A small, picturesque volcanic island located near the mouth of the Tafna River as you approach Tlemcen.
The right side is superior for sunset flights, offering views of the sun dipping into the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Oran coastline and the Murdjadjo hill.
Mitidja Plain
The fertile agricultural heartland of northern Algeria visible immediately after departure from Algiers.
Tell Atlas Range
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain peaks that parallel the coastline.
Chlef River Valley
The winding path of Algeria's longest river as it cuts through the interior landscape.
Tlemcen Mountains

Sit on the left during morning flights to see the sun illuminate the southern slopes of the Atlas. It is the best side for viewing the high-altitude topography and the inland agricultural patterns of the Chelif region.
