INZ → TMR
Which side of the plane to sit from In Salah Airport (In Salah) to Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport (Tamanrasset)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Ahaggar (Hoggar) Massif's volcanic peaks and the famous Assekrem plateau as you descend into Tamanrasset.
Erg Mehedjibat
Massive, star-shaped sand dunes and rolling golden ergs that stretch toward the horizon shortly after leaving the oasis.
Ahaggar Massif
Dramatic granite towers and ancient basalt plugs that define one of the most unique volcanic landscapes in the Sahara.
Assekrem Plateau
The high-altitude plateau home to Father de Foucauld's hermitage, offering glimpses of the most famous mountain silhouettes in Algeria.
Tamanrasset Valley
The green-tinged wadis and rocky outcrops surrounding the 'Gateway to the Hoggar' during the final approach.
Sit on the right for the descent into TMR to witness the sheer verticality of the Hoggar mountains. A late afternoon flight is ideal, as the low sun casts long shadows that emphasize the dramatic terrain and turns the rocks vibrant shades of red and violet.
In Salah Oasis
Aerial view of the lush palm groves and traditional adobe architecture contrasting against the surrounding red sands upon takeoff.
Plateau du Tademaït
A vast, stark limestone plateau that presents a lunar landscape with intricate erosion patterns visible from cruising altitude.
Eastern Hoggar Fringes
Jagged horizons where the desert floor meets the rising volcanic mountains of the eastern Ahaggar region.
Look out for the 'foggara' irrigation systems near In Salah shortly after takeoff. Morning flights provide better contrast for the plateau textures, as the high midday sun can wash out the landscape's features.
