Red Sea Crossing
Early in the flight, enjoy the turquoise coral reefs along the Egyptian coastline near Hurghada.
Nile River Valley
See the stark green ribbon of the Nile cutting through the beige desert landscape near Upper Egypt.
Benghazi & Libyan Coast
Aerial views of the Mediterranean coastline and the urban sprawl of Libya's coastal cities.
Gulf of Gabes
Spot the Tunisian islands like Djerba and the beautiful blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Tell Atlas Mountains
As you approach Oran, the green, rugged peaks of the northern Atlas range provide a dramatic landscape.
Oran Gulf
During the descent, enjoy views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the historic Fort of Santa Cruz.
The right side is best for daytime flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the contrast between sea and land. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes after takeoff for the Nile crossing and again during the final 30 minutes for the Algerian coastline.

The Great Sand Sea
Witness the massive, undulating golden dunes of the eastern Sahara spanning the border of Egypt and Libya.
Saharan Atlas
View the southern slopes of the Atlas range where the mountains meet the vastness of the desert.
Sahara Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the endless desert horizon.
Qattara Depression
Look for the dramatic changes in topography and salt pans in one of the lowest points in Africa.
Choose this side if you prefer the minimalist beauty of the deep Sahara. For afternoon flights, be prepared for strong sunlight; window shades may be necessary until the sun begins to set, which is the highlight of this route.
