Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Mediterranean coastline and the historic Roman ruins of Sabratha during the approach into Tripoli.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Djerba Coastline

Spectacular views of the island's white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Gabes

Continuous panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea following the curve of the North African coast.

🏛️

Ancient Sabratha

On clear days, the UNESCO-listed Roman theater and coastal ruins are visible just west of Tripoli.

🏙️

Tripoli Skyline

Aerial view of the Libyan capital's waterfront and urban density during the final descent phase.

Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the archaeological site of Sabratha along the shoreline.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🧂

Sabkha el Melah

Large, shimmering salt flats and arid depressions located near the Tunisia-Libya border region.

🏜️

Jaffara Plain

The vast, semi-arid landscape stretching from the coast toward the distant Nafusa Mountains.

🛣️

Coastal Highway

The main transit artery connecting Ben Gardane in Tunisia to the outskirts of Tripoli.

The right side is better for observing the stark transition from coastal vegetation to the interior desert. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce the reflection from the bright salt pans and arid plains during midday flights.
