CZL β ORN
Which side of the plane to sit from Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (Constantine) to Es Senia Airport (Oran)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a breathtaking perspective of the Mediterranean coastline, including the stunning Bay of Algiers and the dramatic cliffs where the Atlas Mountains meet the sea.
Mediterranean Coastline
Continuous views of the turquoise waters contrasting with the rocky Algerian shore.
Bay of Algiers
A panoramic view of the 'White City' curving around its historic and busy harbor.
Ancient Tipaza
The site of Roman ruins along the coast can often be spotted on clear days west of Algiers.
Fort Santa Cruz
As you bank for landing in Oran, look for the historic fort perched on Mount Murdjadjo.
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.
Tell Atlas Range
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain peaks and deep valleys that run parallel to the coast.
High Plateaus
The expansive agricultural plains of SΓ©tif and the interior transition zones.
Sebkha d'Oran
A massive, shimmering saltwater lake located south of Oran, especially vibrant during the rainy season.
Mitidja Plain
Lush green agricultural heartlands visible between the mountain ranges near Algiers.
Look for the mountain relief early in the flight. On descent into Oran, the Sebkha salt lake is a massive landmark to the south. Morning flights offer the best shadow definition on the mountain slopes.
