MIR → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (Monastir) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled coastal perspective, featuring the Mediterranean shoreline and the world-renowned historical sites of Carthage and Sidi Bou Said during the final approach.
Gulf of Hammamet
The flight tracks the curve of the Mediterranean coastline, offering views of the deep blue Gulf of Hammamet.
Enfidha Coastline
Views of the industrial port areas and the long sandy beaches stretching toward the Cap Bon peninsula.
Ruins of Carthage
The UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site including the Roman theaters and baths visible on the descent.
Sidi Bou Said
The iconic white-and-blue village perched on the cliffside overlooking the sea during the final approach into TUN.
Lake of Tunis
The shallow lagoon separating the city of Tunis from the sea, often reflecting the sky beautifully.
This is the premier side for photography. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the descent over the Gulf of Tunis. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the blue-and-white architecture of Sidi Bou Said and the ruins of Carthage.
Sousse Medina
A clear view of the historic city of Sousse, its Ribat, and the Great Mosque shortly after departure.
Sahel Olive Groves
Expansive views of the vast olive plantations that define the landscape of the Tunisian Sahel.
Jebel Zaghouan
The prominent mountain peak in the distance, historically the source of water for Roman Carthage via an aqueduct.
Sebkhet Sedjoumi
A large endorheic salt lake on the outskirts of Tunis, often shimmering under the sun and home to birdlife.
Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' glow over the olive groves and the Zaghouan mountain range without the direct sun glare from the sea.
