Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the dramatic Seldja Gorges and the iconic lush palm groves of the Tozeur oasis during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
峥

Seldja Gorges

Breathtaking limestone canyons carved by the Oued Seldja, home to the historic Red Lizard train route.

🏗️

Phosphate Basin

The geometric industrial landscape of the Metlaoui mining region, showing Tunisia's mineral heartland.

🌴

Tozeur Palmeraie

A massive sea of green palm trees appearing suddenly in the desert, containing over 200,000 date palms.

🏜️

Nefta Dunes

The rolling sand formations on the outskirts of the neighboring Nefta oasis near the end of the flight.

Sit on the right for the approach to see the sheer scale of the oases. Keep an eye out for the Seldja Gorges shortly after takeoff from Gafsa; the limestone formations are best viewed in the morning when the sun illuminates the canyon walls directly. Window seats are essential as the flight duration is extremely short, leaving little time to move around.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Jebel Lalla

Rugged mountainous terrain immediately south of Gafsa's airport showing the tail end of the Atlas range.

🧂

Chott el Djerid

The vast, shimmering salt flats that stretch toward the southern horizon, appearing like a white sea.

🌄

Horizon Glow

Exceptional sunrise colors over the arid Saharan plains during early morning departures.

Watch for the shimmering salt crust of Chott el Djerid to the south. In the late afternoon, the salt reflects intense oranges and pinks. Best views are found in the winter months when the salt pan might hold a shallow layer of reflective water.
