DJE → MRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Mediterranean islands and a more scenic approach into the French coast, including the city of Marseille and the surrounding mountains.
Tunisian Coastline
Panoramas of the eastern Tunisian coast including the Gulf of Hammamet as you climb.
Corsica
Stunning views of the jagged peaks and dense forests of the 'Mountain in the Sea' to the east.
Côte d'Azur
The glittering French Riviera coastline appearing as the plane begins its descent into Provence.
Marseille Cityscape
Direct views of the Vieux Port, the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, and the Frioul archipelago.
The Southern Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps are visible in the distance to the north.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing the Mediterranean's most iconic islands. As the plane circles for landing at MRS, the right side usually provides a spectacular view of downtown Marseille and the Château d'If. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the French coastline.
Djerba Island
Aerial view of the island's unique flat landscape and white-domed architecture immediately after takeoff.
The Mediterranean Sea
Expansive views of the deep turquoise waters between North Africa and Europe.
Western Sardinia
Views of the rugged cliffs and secluded coves along the western coast of the Italian island.
Calanques National Park
The dramatic white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets of the French coast during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the Galite Islands off the Tunisian coast. During the landing phase at MRS, you will likely see the Étang de Berre, a massive brackish lagoon.
