BEY → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for major Mediterranean islands like Cyprus and Crete, and offers iconic views of the historic Carthage coastline and Sidi Bou Said during the final approach.
Southern Cyprus
Excellent views of the Limassol coastline and the high Troodos mountain range about 25 minutes into the flight.
Cretan Peaks
The dramatic 2,400-meter peaks of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) are often visible above the clouds mid-flight.
Mediterranean Transit
Watch for cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy shipping lanes between Europe and Africa.
Ancient Carthage
Spectacular views of the Punic ports and Roman archaeological ruins just before touchdown at TUN.
Sidi Bou Said
The world-famous blue-and-white village perched on the cliffs of the Gulf of Tunis is clearly visible on the right during arrival.
This is the premier side for island spotting. Keep an eye out for Cyprus and Crete, which are major highlights. On the final approach into Tunis, the right side almost always offers the iconic view of Sidi Bou Said and the Carthage ruins, making it the preferred choice for photographers.
Beirut Waterfront
Stunning views of the Beirut Corniche and the Mediterranean skyline immediately after departure from BEY.
Deep Sea Vistas
Expansive views of the Libyan Sea and the shimmering horizon stretching towards the North African coast.
Cape Bon Peninsula
The fertile northeastern tip of Tunisia, known as the 'Garden of Tunisia', visible as the plane prepares for landing.
Gulf of Tunis
Beautiful views of the turquoise waters and the coastal towns of the southern suburbs during the final turn.
Choose this side if you want the best view of Beirut upon takeoff. On afternoon flights, expect direct sunlight and potential glare on this side. During the landing, watch for the distinct transition from the deep blue sea to the green agricultural fields of northern Tunisia.
