MUC โ DJE
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, starting with Germany's highest peak, a traverse of the central Alps, and a spectacular birds-eye view of the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
Zugspitze Peak
Germany's highest mountain is visible shortly after departure as the plane climbs over the Bavarian Alps.
Innsbruck Valley
A stunning view of the Inn river winding through the heart of the Austrian Alps.
Corsica & Sardinia
The flight path often passes between these two islands, offering rugged coastal views and turquoise waters.
Gulf of Gabรจs
Vibrant shallow waters and salt pans appearing as the flight reaches the North African coast.
Djerba Shoreline
Panoramic views of the island's white-washed villages and palm groves during the landing pattern.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine enthusiasts as it often passes closer to the main ridges. To maximize the view of Corsica and Sardinia, try to fly during mid-day when the sun is high to avoid reflections off the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the stunning color contrast between the desert sands and the sea.
Dolomite Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, characterized by sharp ridges and deep valleys.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen on the horizon.
Adriatic Coastline
A long stretch of the Italian eastern coast featuring popular beach resorts like Rimini and Ancona.
El Kantara Causeway
The ancient Roman road connecting the island of Djerba to the Tunisian mainland during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side is better for spotting the unique geology of the Dolomites and the historic layout of the Venetian lagoon from a distance. During the final approach to Djerba, look for the traditional fishing boats (Feluccas) near the coast.
