Search flights from BEN to TIP
Gulf of Sirte
The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea stretching toward the horizon as the flight follows the coastline.
Port of Misrata
A birds-eye view of Libya's largest commercial port, featuring shipping containers and industrial docking areas.
Leptis Magna
The spectacular ancient Roman archaeological site near Khoms is clearly visible as the plane descends toward Tripoli.
Garabulli Beaches
Pristine sandy coastlines and small fishing settlements along the final approach path.
The right side is the definitive choice for sightseeing. For the best photography of Leptis Magna, take an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the ruins from the west. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight as the descent follows the beautiful coastline into the Tripoli region.

Benghazi Outskirts
Aerial views of the southern districts of Benghazi and the transition from urban areas to the arid desert.
Sirt Basin Deserts
Vast stretches of the Sahara desert featuring varied geological formations and occasional oil exploration infrastructure.
Sabkha Salt Flats
Large, white-crusted dry lake beds that reflect the sunlight, creating a unique high-contrast landscape.
Choose the left side for a more minimalist, desert-focused aesthetic. Morning flights are better here to avoid the intense glare of the sun reflecting off the desert floor in the afternoon. Look for the geometric patterns of irrigation circles and industrial sites scattered in the basin.
