Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular and diverse panorama of the African continent, ranging from the rugged, snow-capped Atlas Mountains to the mesmerizing, shifting patterns of the Sahara's Grand Erg Oriental and the vast Tunisian salt flats.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Middle Atlas Mountains

Dramatic views of the Moroccan mountain ranges shortly after departure from Casablanca.

🏜️

Grand Erg Oriental

A sea of orange sand dunes stretching across the Algerian-Tunisian border, creating intricate patterns.

🧂

Chott el Djerid

The shimmering, surreal white crust of Tunisia's largest salt lake, often appearing like a mirage.

🌿

Jabal al Akhdar

The 'Green Mountain' region of Libya, providing a lush contrast to the surrounding desert near Benghazi.

The right side is superior for desert photography. Take a late afternoon flight to see the low sun casting long, dramatic shadows across the Saharan dunes. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes after takeoff for the best mountain views.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Mediterranean Coastline

Continuous views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea meeting the rugged North African cliffs.

🏙️

Algiers Skyline

Aerial perspective of the 'White City' and its expansive harbor as you fly along the Algerian coast.

📍

Cap Bon Peninsula

The prominent Tunisian thumb reaching out toward Sicily, clearly visible on clear days.

🚢

Gulf of Sirte

The vast maritime curve of the Libyan coast as the flight begins its descent toward Benghazi.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the coastal details. This side is best for those who enjoy maritime vistas and spotting major coastal cities like Algiers and Tunis from a distance.
