KWI → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side (facing North) provides the most consistent views of the Mediterranean coastline and the lush Nile Delta, all while benefiting from better lighting conditions as it faces away from the direct sun.
Suez Canal
The iconic waterway connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, often filled with visible cargo ships.
Cairo & Nile Delta
The sprawling metropolis of Cairo and the vast, fan-shaped greenery of the Nile Delta.
Mediterranean Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise waters meeting the desert sands along Egypt and Libya.
Alexandria
The historic port city of Egypt, visible as a dense urban strip along the sea.
Tunis Bay
Final approach views of the white-and-blue architecture of Sidi Bou Said and the ruins of ancient Carthage.
This side offers superior lighting as you are facing away from the sun for the duration of the westward flight. Look for the Suez Canal about midway through the journey. On the descent into Tunis, stay alert for the ancient ruins of Carthage and the picturesque Gulf of Tunis, which appear just minutes before touchdown.
An Nafud Desert
Vast expanses of reddish-gold dunes across the northern Arabian Peninsula.
Sinai High Mountains
The rugged, jagged granite peaks of the southern Sinai Peninsula, including Mount Catherine.
Gulf of Suez
The narrow northern arm of the Red Sea separating the Sinai from the African continent.
Upper Nile Valley
A stark green ribbon of vegetation cutting through the monochromatic Egyptian desert.
Sahara Erg Systems
Massive, undulating sand seas and remote oases deep within the Libyan interior.
On this south-facing side, expect significant sun glare during daytime flights. Keep your window shade partially closed to reduce heat, but open it when crossing the Nile to see the incredible contrast between the fertile valley and the desert. Use a polarizing filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze and sand dust.
