Gulf of Sidra
Expansive views of the Mediterranean's southern reaches with frequent sightings of cargo ships.
Kerkennah Islands
A group of low-lying islands known for their unique shallow waters and traditional fishing patterns.
Sousse & Monastir
Views of the famous 'Pearl of the Sahel' and its coastal resorts, ribats, and white sandy beaches.
Cape Bon Peninsula
The rugged mountains and citrus groves of the peninsula that points directly toward Sicily.
Gulf of Tunis
A stunning panoramic entry into the capital over the azure bay, often passing near the ruins of Carthage.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. Look closely for the 'charfia' (v-shaped traditional fishing traps) in the water around the Kerkennah Islands; they are highly photogenic from high altitudes.
