Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the lush landscapes of Northern Europe to the azure Mediterranean and the unique arid geography of Djerba island upon arrival.
Brussels Suburbs
Immediate views of the dense urban layout of Belgium's capital and the surrounding Pajottenland region.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon.
French Riviera Coastline
The flight crosses the coastline near Marseille or Toulon, offering deep blue vistas of the Mediterranean.
Sardinian Coast
The route often passes near the rugged western coast of Sardinia, showcasing its dramatic cliffs.
Djerba North Coast
As the plane descends, you get a perfect view of the turquoise lagoons and white sandy beaches of the 'Island of Dreams'.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep blue sea and the pale limestone architecture of Houmt Souk.
Massif Central
Aerial views of the ancient volcanic peaks and rolling green hills of central France.
Gulf of Lion
A wide-angle view of the western Mediterranean and the busy shipping lanes leading toward Spain.
Cap Bon Peninsula
The first sight of Africa, showing the fertile northern tip of Tunisia before heading south.
Sousse and Monastir
Views of the popular Tunisian resort cities along the eastern Sahel coastline.
Salt Pans
As you approach DJE airport, look for the geometric shapes and shimmering surfaces of the local salt evaporation ponds.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. Look for the distinct 'Guelala' pottery village during the final approach, and note how the landscape becomes progressively more desert-like the further south you travel.
