EBH β ALG
Which side of the plane to sit from El Bayadh Airport (El Bayadh) to Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Saharan Atlas peaks immediately after takeoff, followed by a panoramic approach into the Bay of Algiers, featuring the iconic Great Mosque and the Mediterranean coastline.
Djebel Amour Peaks
Stunning views of the rugged peaks of the Saharan Atlas shortly after departure from El Bayadh.
Sebkha Zahrez
Large shimmering salt flats located to the east of the flight path in the steppe region.
Great Mosque of Algiers
The world's third-largest mosque and its massive minaret visible during final descent.
Bay of Algiers
The crescent-shaped Mediterranean bay with the Port of Algiers and the urban skyline.
Sit on the right for the best perspective of the Saharan Atlas shortly after takeoff. For the arrival, if landing from the east, you will have a front-row seat to the Algiers waterfront and the historic Casbah. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the mountain textures.
Saharan Atlas Foothills
Dramatic arid ridges and deep wadis characteristic of the El Bayadh region.
High Plateaus
Vast agricultural plains and steppes between the mountain ranges of the Tell and Saharan Atlas.
Titteri Mountains
The western edges of the Tell Atlas range with lush greenery compared to the southern desert.
Tipaza Coastline
If the flight patterns from the west, views of the ancient Roman ruins and Mount Chenoua.
Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the sunset over the High Plateaus. On approach, you may see the ChrΓ©a National Park mountains clearly.
