DME → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
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.
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.
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.
