Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Grand Erg Oriental's massive dune fields and the intricate sandstone 'forests' of the Tassili n'Ajjer shortly after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🎨

Rock Forests

Intricate, eroded sandstone spires and natural arches visible during the initial climb from Djanet.

🌊

Grand Erg Oriental

A breathtaking 'sea' of orange longitudinal dunes that stretch endlessly toward the horizon.

🏭

Energy Infrastructure

Industrial patterns and gas flares from the Hassi Messaoud oil fields visible in the distance.

🌴

Ouargla Palm Groves

Lush green date palm plantations that provide a vibrant contrast to the surrounding arid terrain on descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset lighting up the orange dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes of flight for the best rock formation photos.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏜️

Tassili n'Ajjer Plateau

Aerial perspective of the UNESCO-listed sandstone plateau and its deep, winding canyons.

🪨

Black Reg Deserts

Vast stretches of desert pavement consisting of dark, wind-polished stones creating a stark landscape.

🏔️

Ahaggar Fringe

Distant glimpses of the volcanic peaks belonging to the Hoggar Mountains on the western horizon.

🏙️

Ouargla Cityscape

The expanding urban footprint of the desert city as the aircraft makes its final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, which enhances the visibility of the rock textures in the Tassili n'Ajjer. Watch for the sharp transition between the stony plateaus and the sandy basins.
