Port of Bejaia

Views of the Gulf of Bejaia and the 'Yemma Gouraya' mountain guarding the bay.

The right side is essential for coastal photography. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun is in the south, illuminating the northern coastline and the white architecture of Algiers perfectly. Keep an eye out for the distinct blue-to-green water transitions near the shore.
