Camargue Wetlands
The intricate mosaic of salt pans, lagoons, and the Rhône river delta immediately after leaving Marseille.
Gulf of Lion
Panoramic views of the sweeping crescent coastline of Southern France fading into the horizon.
Gouraya National Park
The rugged, forested mountains of the Tell Atlas rising abruptly from the Mediterranean shore.
Yemma Gouraya Peak
The iconic 660-meter limestone mountain that dominates the Bejaia skyline, home to Barbary macaques.
Port of Bejaia
A detailed view of the industrial harbor and the city's residential districts nestled between the mountains and the sea.
The right side is spectacular during late afternoon flights when the sun sets over the sea. During descent, this side offers the most direct view of the Gouraya mountain peak, which is the primary landmark of the region. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the rugged Algerian coastline.
