Tuat Oasis Chain
A striking ribbon of green palm groves that contrasts sharply with the surrounding red desert sands.
Foggara Systems
Ancient underground irrigation channels visible from the air as series of circular well-heads forming dotted lines.
Historic Ksour
Traditional fortified mud-brick villages that have served as caravan stops for centuries.
Tademait Plateau
The rugged, rocky edges of the limestone plateau that dominates the landscape northeast of the flight path.
The right side is essential for the descent into Adrar. Look closely as the plane loses altitude to spot the intricate foggara patterns and the geometric layout of the ksour. Late afternoon flights offer the best contrast for photography, highlighting the architectural textures of the oases.

Erg Chech Dunes
Vast longitudinal sand dunes of the Erg Chech stretching toward the Malian border.
Tanezrouft Flatlands
The legendary 'Land of Thirst,' featuring some of the flattest and most desolate desert terrain on Earth.
Saharan Horizons
Expansive, unobstructed views of the desert horizon, perfect for observing atmospheric optics and mirages.
Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the sand dunes. It provides a sense of the immense scale of the Sahara's uninhabited interior. High-altitude visibility is usually excellent due to low humidity.
