Search flights from IAM to OGX
Ohanet Gas Fields
A complex network of pipelines and industrial processing plants carved into the desolate desert floor.
Grand Erg Oriental
An endless sea of massive linear sand dunes stretching toward the Tunisian border.
Hassi Messaoud Grids
The industrial heart of the Sahara, featuring burning gas flares and a unique geometric layout of oil wells.
Ouargla Oasis
A vibrant green island of date palm groves that provides a stark contrast to the surrounding ochre sands.
Choose this side for the best views of the Hassi Messaoud industrial complex during descent. Late afternoon flights are particularly spectacular as the low sun creates long, dramatic shadows across the dune crests, highlighting their intricate textures.

Issaouane Erg
Stunning views of towering star-shaped dunes shortly after departing the In Aménas region.
Tassili Plateau Edge
The rugged northern fringes of the Tassili n'Ajjer mountain range are visible in the distance.
Desert Mirages
Watch the horizon for shimmering heat distortions that create the illusion of water over the stony plains.
Sit forward of the wing to capture the vastness of the Saharan horizon. Mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun is high enough to illuminate the dune ridges without creating excessive glare from the window glass.
