Which side of the plane to sit from Malta International Airport (Malta) to Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport (Enfidha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the Maltese archipelago upon departure, including the historic Grand Harbour, and provides a scenic perspective of the Cap Bon peninsula during the descent into Tunisia.
Valletta & Grand Harbour
Unrivaled views of the UNESCO World Heritage capital and its historic fortifications shortly after departure.
Gozo and Comino
Distant views of Malta's sister islands, including the turquoise waters surrounding the Blue Lagoon.
Cap Bon Peninsula
The prominent Tunisian headland that stretches toward Sicily, marking your entry into African airspace.
Hammamet Coast
The white-washed architecture and sandy beaches of Tunisia's premier resort destination.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Maltese fortifications perfectly. During descent, look for the 'finger' of Cap Bon; it is the most recognizable geographic feature on this short transcontinental hop.
Filfla Islet
A small, uninhabited limestone islet that is the southernmost point of the Maltese archipelago.
Mediterranean Horizon
Vast expanses of deep blue water marking the transition between European and African maritime borders.
Port of Enfidha
Industrial landscapes and the sprawling infrastructure of the Tunisian coast as you approach the airport.
Sit on the left for a view of Malta's rugged southern cliffs during takeoff. On approach to NBE, this side often sees the sun in the afternoon, so keep the window shade partially closed to reduce glare while looking for the Tunisian coastline.
