MRS β TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic French coastline upon departure and the picturesque islands of Corsica and Sardinia during the cruise, finishing with a scenic entry over the Gulf of Tunis.
Calanques National Park
Spectacular limestone cliffs and hidden turquoise inlets visible immediately after takeoff from Marseille.
Corsican Mountains
Vantage point for the rugged, high-altitude peaks of Corsica often visible to the east during the cruise.
Sardinian Coastline
Clear views of the Emerald Coast and the jagged northeastern shores of Sardinia as you head south.
Carthage and Sidi Bou Said
Aerial views of the historic ruins of Carthage and the famous blue-and-white village on the final approach.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French Riviera and the Mediterranean islands. Watch closely within the first 10 minutes for the Calanques. On the final descent into TUN, the left side offers the classic view of the white buildings of Sidi Bou Said against the blue sea.
ChΓ’teau d'If
The historic fortress on the Frioul islands made famous by 'The Count of Monte Cristo' visible during initial climb.
Open Mediterranean
Expansive, peaceful views of the deep blue sea and major shipping lanes connecting Europe and Africa.
Sunset Horizon
The ideal side for evening flights to witness the sun setting over the Mediterranean horizon.
Tunis Cityscape
Views of the urban sprawl of Tunis and the Lake of Tunis during the final banking maneuvers.
The right side is preferable for evening flights to avoid direct glare and capture sunset colors over the water. During the approach to Tunis, look for the 'Lac de Tunis' and the causeway connecting the city to the port of La Goulette. Keep an eye out for passing ferries between Marseille and North Africa.
