The stark contrast between the lush green Nile Delta and the surrounding desert sands, often including Cairo's sprawl.
Cyrenaica Coastline
Distant views of the Mediterranean coastline and the green hills of the Jebel Akhdar in Libya.
Djurdjura Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks of the Kabylie region, often snow-capped during winter months.
Bay of Algiers
The 'White City' curving around the Mediterranean, visible during the final descent into Houari Boumediene.
Great Mosque of Algiers
The world's third-largest mosque and its massive minaret are clearly visible along the shoreline on arrival.
