Monastir Marina
Immediately after takeoff, view the historic Ribat and the modern luxury yachts docked at the marina.
Kerkennah Islands
A rare aerial view of this low-lying archipelago and the traditional V-shaped 'charfia' fishing traps in the shallow waters.
Djerba Island
Observe the 'Island of Dreams' featuring white-domed houses, palm groves, and extensive sandy beaches surrounded by turquoise water.
Tripoli Waterfront
During the final approach, the city's coastal skyline and Martyrs' Square are visible against the Mediterranean backdrop.
Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastal features and the turquoise clarity of the Gulf of Gabes. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Kerkennah Islands, which are often missed due to their low elevation.

Watch the landscape transform from the green olive groves of the Sahel to the arid, reddish sands of the Libyan desert.
Tripoli Suburbs
As the plane turns inland for TIP airport, view the sprawling residential developments and the arid plains of northwestern Libya.
Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the desert colors on this side. Look for the distinct line of the Ras Ajdir border crossing; the contrast between the managed agricultural plots in Tunisia and the open desert in Libya is very noticeable.
