Tademait Plateau
A desolate, moon-like limestone plateau that offers a stark contrast to the surrounding sand dunes.
The M'zab Valley
Look for the UNESCO-listed pentapolis of Ghardaïa with its distinctive white and blue cubic architecture clustered on hills.
Chott el Hodna
A massive endorheic salt lake and wetland area that reflects the sky with a shimmering, ethereal quality.
Djurdjura Mountains
The most spectacular part of the Tell Atlas, often covered in snow from December to March, providing a dramatic backdrop for the approach.
Algiers Bay
As the plane banks for arrival, enjoy a panoramic view of the 'White City' curving around the Mediterranean coast.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to see the desert colors illuminated. Watch for the unique geometric patterns of Ghardaïa about halfway through the flight. During winter, the snow on the Djurdjura range is a highlight not to be missed.

Grand Erg Occidental
Massive undulating waves of orange sand dunes stretching toward the horizon as you leave the central Sahara.
El Golea Oasis
A stunning green jewel in the desert known as the 'Pearl of the Desert,' visible shortly after departure.
Saharan Atlas Peaks
The rugged ridges of Djebel Amour mark the transition from the deep desert to the high plateaus.
Mitidja Plain
The final approach reveals the lush agricultural heartland of northern Algeria before landing in the capital.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun over the desert. This side provides the best view of the vast sand seas of the Western Erg shortly after takeoff from In Salah.
