Which side of the plane to sit from Ghat Airport (Ghat) to Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the vast Erg Ubari sand dunes, the hidden desert oases, and the dramatic approach over the Jefara Plain toward the Mediterranean coast.
Search flights from GHT to TIP
Ubari Lakes
Look for the tiny, dark blue spots of saltwater lakes hidden deep within the massive sand dunes of the Idehan Ubari.
Wadi al-Ajal
A long, green ribbon of palm groves and ancient Garamantian settlements cutting through the desert.
Jefara Plain
The transition from orange sands to the green olive and citrus groves surrounding the capital.
Tripoli Coastline
Sweeping views of the 'Bride of the Mediterranean' and the turquoise waters as the aircraft turns for landing.
Sit on the right for the best perspective of the sand dune ripples, which are best seen with the morning sun casting long shadows. During the descent, you will have a better view of Tripoli's urban sprawl and the Mediterranean Sea if the flight approaches from the west.

Tadrart Acacus
Dramatic basalt rock formations and UNESCO-listed rock art sites visible immediately after takeoff.
Idehan Ubari
The western edge of the massive sand sea with towering orange dunes stretching toward the Algerian border.
Jebel Nafusa Escarpment
Rugged limestone mountains and traditional Berber plateau landscapes as you head north.
Sahara Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the desert horizon.
Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the Acacus mountains. If traveling in the late afternoon, choose this side to avoid the harsh direct glare of the sun while still capturing the golden hour glow on the desert floor.
