Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal geography, including the lush Nile Delta, the turquoise Mediterranean coastline of North Africa, and a stunning aerial approach over the Bay of Algiers.

Doha Skyline
Panoramic views of West Bay and The Pearl-Qatar immediately after takeoff.
Persian Gulf
Crystal clear turquoise waters and offshore oil platforms in the early flight stage.
Nile Delta
The sprawling, fertile green triangle where the Nile meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Libyan Coastline
The sharp contrast between the azure Mediterranean and the golden desert shores.
Bay of Algiers
A breathtaking view of the 'White City' curving around the Mediterranean harbor on final approach.
The right side is generally shielded from direct sunlight on this westward route, providing clearer visibility for photography. It is the best side for viewing the Mediterranean coastline and the arrival into Algiers. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.

An Nafud Desert
The vast, reddish-gold sand dunes of the northern Arabian Peninsula.
Sinai Mountains
Rugged, dark granite peaks and canyons of the southern Sinai Peninsula.
The Nile River
The distinct green ribbon of life cutting through the vast Egyptian desert sands.
Grand Erg Oriental
Massive sea of dunes in the Algerian Sahara during the final cruise phase.
Tell Atlas Range
Dramatic mountain ridges that separate the Sahara from the Mediterranean coast.
Sit on the left for better views of the deep Sahara interior and the rugged Atlas Mountains during the descent. If flying on a late afternoon flight, the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; however, it offers spectacular sunset views over the desert dunes.
