Gulf of Gabès
Aerial view of the Mediterranean coastline and the port city of Gabès immediately after departure.
Matmata Plateau
The rugged, arid landscape famous for its troglodyte dwellings and Star Wars filming locations.
Chott el Djerid
The massive endorheic salt lake, appearing as a shimmering white and purple expanse of crystalline salt.
Kebili Oases
Striking green patches of date palms providing a stark contrast to the surrounding desert sands.
Sahara Fringes
The beginning of the Grand Erg Oriental sand dunes visible to the south as you approach the destination.
Sit on the left for the best view of the salt pan's color gradients. Early morning flights are ideal as the low sun angle highlights the crystalline textures of the Chott el Djerid without the midday glare and heat haze typical of the Sahara.
