Mount Chelia
The highest peak in the Aures range, located east of the initial flight path.
Tyrrhenian Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Sardinia or Corsica can sometimes be spotted across the water.
Calanques National Park
Stunning white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets just south of Marseille.
Marseille Old Port
The historic heart of the city, including the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica.
Château d'If
The famous island fortress made legendary by the Count of Monte Cristo.
The right side is the 'money side' for arrival. As the plane aligns for Runway 31L/R, you will fly parallel to the coast, providing a perfect view of the city and its islands. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the white limestone cliffs of Provence.

Aures Mountains
Rugged, arid mountain ranges immediately visible after departure from Batna.

Where the Atlas Mountains meet the deep blue Mediterranean Sea near Bejaia.
The Camargue
The vast wetlands and salt pans of the Rhone delta visible during the approach to France.
Fos-sur-Mer
