Rif Mountains
The jagged limestone peaks and green valleys of northern Morocco's rugged terrain.
Middle Atlas
Distant views of the snow-capped Atlas range to the south during the mid-flight cruise.
Tlemcen Highlands
High plateaus and historical mountainous terrain as the flight crosses into Algeria.
Oran Cityscape
Clear views of Algeria's second-largest city and the iconic Fort Santa Cruz on the hill.
Mitidja Plain
The fertile agricultural heartland of Algeria, creating a green patchwork before arrival.
Blidean Atlas
The dramatic mountain range that serves as the backdrop to Algiers, visible during descent.
This is the best side for mountain lovers. In the morning, the sun will be on this side, so expect bright light; however, the mountain shadows offer great depth for photos. Look for the 'Radiant City' of Oran roughly halfway through the flight. During winter, the Atlas peaks will be capped in white, providing a stunning contrast to the desert hues.

Aerial perspective of the Hassan II Mosque and the sprawling Atlantic coast on departure.
Rabat & Salé
The capital city's layout and the Bou Regreg river splitting the twin cities.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Alboran Sea where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
Tipaza Coast
Visible ancient ruins and turquoise waters near the Algerian coastline during the approach.
Bay of Algiers
The sweeping white crescent of the Algiers harbor and the Great Mosque minaret on final descent.
Choose this side if you prefer coastal views and the Mediterranean horizon. On afternoon flights heading east, this side will be shaded, making photography through the window easier without sun glare. Watch for the Roman ruins of Tipaza about 15 minutes before landing.
