Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. During the descent, look for the 'Lac de Tunis' which often takes on a vibrant pink or deep blue hue depending on the algae and light. This side typically gets the best view of the historical sites if landing from the north.
