Château d'If
The famous island fortress used as a setting in 'The Count of Monte Cristo' is clearly visible in the Bay of Marseille.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt pans and wetlands of the Rhône river mouth, known for its pink-hued lagoons and diverse birdlife.
Cape de Garde
The iconic lighthouse and rocky headland that marks the western entrance to the Gulf of Annaba.
Saint Augustine Basilica
The majestic 19th-century basilica perched on a hill overlooking the ancient Roman ruins of Hippo Regius.
Seraïdi Mountains
Lushly forested mountains that rise sharply from the coastline, often covered in a light mist during morning flights.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Annaba sweep.' As the plane banks to align with the runway, you will get a panoramic view of the city and the Basilica. Sunset flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets over the Mediterranean to the west.

Marseille Vieux-Port
A bird's-eye view of the historic Old Port and the bustling city center of Marseille immediately after takeoff.
Calanques National Park
Dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden turquoise coves stretching along the coast toward Cassis.
Corsica Distant View
On very clear days, the rugged silhouette of the 'Island of Beauty' may be visible on the eastern horizon.
El Kala Wetlands
The lush, green landscape of the UNESCO biosphere reserve near the Algerian-Tunisian border during the descent.
For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for spotting the high-altitude contrast between the blue Mediterranean and the dense green forests of the Algerian coast as you approach.
