Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean crossing and the dramatic approach along the Tunisian coastline, including the Cap Bon peninsula and the Gulf of Hammamet.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Madrid Cityscape

Panoramic views of the Spanish capital's skyline and the Cuatro Torres Business Area during initial climb.

🌾

Castile-La Mancha

Vast agricultural patterns and the historic golden plains of central Spain.

🏖️

Gulf of Valencia

The scenic transition where the Spanish mainland meets the turquoise waters of the Balearic Sea.

📍

Cap Bon

The northernmost tip of Tunisia jutting sharply into the Mediterranean Sea.

🌊

Gulf of Hammamet

Curving white sand beaches and prominent coastal resort towns visible from high altitude.

🏝️

Djerba Island

A full aerial view of the 'Island of Dreams' and its unique architecture as the plane prepares for landing.

Sit on the left for morning flights to witness the sun rising over the Mediterranean. This side provides the best angle for spotting the Balearic Islands (Ibiza and Mallorca) in the distance. The descent over the Tunisian coast is most vibrant during the late afternoon golden hour.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Sierra de Alcaraz

Rugged mountain ranges and deep valleys in southeastern Spain.

☀️

Costa Cálida

The sun-drenched coastline of Murcia and the unique Mar Menor salt-water lagoon.

Expansive views of deep blue waters and cargo ships traversing busy maritime trade routes.

🏘️

Tunisian Sahel

Densely populated coastal olive groves and the white-washed cities of Sousse and Monastir.

Sfax Port

Tunisia's second-largest city, featuring a historic medina and a massive industrial port.

🏝️

Kerkenna Islands

A low-lying archipelago known for traditional palm-frond fishing traps visible in the shallow waters.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the sunset over the African continent. Keep an eye out for the expansive pink-hued salt pans near Sfax as the aircraft begins its final descent into Djerba.
