Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged peaks of south-central France shortly after departure.
Tassili n'Ajjer
Stunning sandstone 'forests' and lunar-like rock formations in the Algerian desert.
Aïr Mountains
Dark, volcanic mountain massifs in northern Niger that contrast sharply with the surrounding yellow sands.
Niger River Confluence
The green vegetation surrounding the mighty Niger River as you cross into southern Nigeria.
The left side is optimal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Mediterranean. During the winter Harmattan season, look for the high-altitude rock massifs of the Sahara which often remain visible above the dust haze that blankets the lower plains.
