Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is significantly better for the approach into Tunis, offering world-class views of the Mediterranean coastline, the ancient ruins of Carthage, and the famous clifftop village of Sidi Bou Said.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Moscow Skyline

A distant but clear view of the 'Moscow City' skyscraper district and the capital's sprawling urban layout.

🌉

Bosphorus Strait

The iconic waterway in Istanbul that serves as the geographical boundary between Europe and Asia.

🌋

Mount Etna

On exceptionally clear days, the silhouette of Sicily's famous active volcano may be visible to the north.

🏛️

Carthage Ruins

The archaeological remains of the ancient Punic and Roman empire, visible just moments before touchdown.

🏘️

Sidi Bou Said

The picturesque blue-and-white village perched on the cliffs of the Gulf of Tunis during the final descent.

The right side is essential for photographers; it offers the best lighting conditions during afternoon flights to avoid glare. Most importantly, as the plane descends into Tunis-Carthage Airport (TUN), the right-hand windows face the historic coastline, providing an unobstructed view of Sidi Bou Said and the Carthage ruins which are missed from the left.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌲

Moscow Green Belt

Expansive views of the birch and pine forests surrounding the southern Moscow region shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Black Sea Coastline

The dramatic visual transition from the Russian mainland into the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

The rugged and often snow-capped limestone peaks that define the southern landscape of Turkey.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

Glimpses of scattered Greek and Turkish islands dotting the turquoise waters during the Mediterranean crossing.

🌅

Cape Bon

The first sighting of the African continent, featuring the fertile green tip of Tunisia's northeastern peninsula.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Black Sea. It provides the best perspective of the Anatolian mountain ranges. However, be aware that during late afternoon flights, this side will be exposed to direct sunlight for the majority of the journey.
