Nile Delta
The striking green fan of fertile land where the Nile meets the Mediterranean, contrasted against desert sands.
Mediterranean Coastline
Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches along the Egyptian and Libyan 'Green Mountain' coast.
Gulf of Sidra
The massive northern arc of the Libyan coast where the desert meets the deep blue sea.
Ancient Carthage
Historic archaeological sites and the Punic ports visible just before landing at Tunis-Carthage.
Cap Bon Peninsula
The scenic finger of land pointing toward Sicily, marking the final turn into the Gulf of Tunis.
Sit on the right for morning flights to have the sun at your back, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Nile Delta. As the pilot begins the descent into Tunis, watch for the distinct turquoise hues of the Gulf of Tunis. This side typically offers the best view of the city and the Roman ruins of Carthage during the standard approach pattern.

Deep blue waters and coral reef patterns visible immediately after takeoff from Jeddah.
Great Sand Sea
Vast, undulating golden dunes of the Libyan Desert stretching toward the horizon.
Salt Pans
Shimmering, white-crusted depressions found in the arid reaches of the eastern Sahara.
Tunisian Dorsale
The rugged mountain ridges that mark the eastern tail of the Atlas range during descent.
The left side is exceptional for sunset views on afternoon flights, casting long shadows over the Saharan dunes. However, mid-day sun can be intense; keep the window shade partially closed to avoid heat. Look for the sharp contrast between the desert and the green Tunisian interior as you cross the border from Libya.
