M'Zab Pentapolis
Aerial views of the five fortified cities, including Ghardaia and Melika, known for their unique UNESCO-protected urban planning.
Saharan Atlas
Dramatic views of the central mountain chain that acts as the natural barrier between the Sahara and the Mediterranean.
Bay of Algiers
As the plane turns for approach, the Mediterranean coastline and the sapphire waters of the bay come into full view.
Great Mosque of Algiers
A clear view of Djamaa el Djazaïr and its world-record-breaking minaret standing tall on the waterfront.

The Chebka Plateau
A vast, desolate limestone landscape characterized by deep ravines and rocky outcrops immediately north of Ghardaia.
Tell Atlas Range
Observation of the transitioning terrain as the arid desert gives way to the rugged, greener ridges of the northern mountains.
Mitidja Plain

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh Saharan sun. It offers a better view of the agricultural transition and the western hills of the capital during the landing pattern.
