Search flights from LAQ to TIP
Gulf of Sirte
Expansive views of the Mediterranean Sea, showcasing deep blues and turquoise hues along the shore.
Port of Misrata
Watch for the heavy maritime traffic and large cargo ships at one of Libya's most significant commercial ports.
Coastal Salt Marshes
Unique geographic formations of 'sabkhas' or salt flats that line the coast between Misrata and Tripoli.
Tripoli Waterfront
The dense urban landscape of the capital city meeting the Mediterranean as you begin the final descent.
The right side is superior for maritime scenery. For the best experience, book a late afternoon flight to witness the sunset reflecting off the Mediterranean. During the winter months, the coastline is particularly sharp and clear due to less atmospheric dust.

Jebel Akhdar
View the fertile, green highlands of the 'Green Mountain' immediately after departure from Al Bayda'.
Sahara Fringe
The dramatic transition where the coastal plateaus give way to the vast arid expanses of the Libyan Desert.
Sirte Basin
Spot the urban layout and industrial infrastructure of Sirte as the plane traverses the southern gulf coast.
Misrata Farmlands
Circular irrigation patterns and agricultural developments visible on the southern outskirts of Misrata.
Look south early in the flight to see the unique contrast of the Jebel Akhdar greenery against the desert. Morning flights provide the best lighting for these land features without the harsh midday glare. Be aware that seasonal dust storms can occasionally obscure these southern views.
