Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Mediterranean coastline and the dramatic meeting point of the Tell Atlas mountains and the sea, culminating in a panoramic view of the Bay of Algiers.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Mediterranean Coast

Continuous views of the jagged northern coastline where the turquoise sea meets the steep cliffs.

⚓

Gulf of Bejaia

A stunning view of the port city and the Cap Carbon lighthouse, one of the tallest in the world.

🏙️

Bay of Algiers

A sweeping view of the crescent-shaped bay, including the Great Mosque of Algiers and the city's white-washed buildings.

🏖️

Jijel Corniche

Views of the scenic coastal road and hidden beaches nestled between the mountains and the sea.

For the most iconic view of 'Algiers the White,' the right side is essential during the final descent. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for coastal photography. Try to sit away from the wing to fully appreciate the curve of the bay.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌉

Constantine Gorges

Aerial view of the dramatic Rhumel River canyon and the city's historic suspension bridges immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Djurdjura Mountains

The snow-capped peaks of the High Kabylie region, offering rugged limestone ridges and deep alpine valleys.

🚜

Mitidja Plain

A vast expanse of fertile agricultural land and citrus groves that signals the final approach into the capital.

💧

Beni Haroun Reservoir

One of Algeria's largest dams, visible shortly after departure as a massive blue expanse amidst the arid terrain.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best contrast on the rocky terrain of the Atlas. Keep your camera ready immediately upon departure to catch the unique layout of Constantine's bridges.
