MUWTID

Which side of the plane to sit from Ghriss Airport (Ghriss) to Bou Chekif Airport (Tiaret)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more dramatic perspective of the rugged Ouarsenis mountain range and the lush agricultural valleys of the Tell Atlas hinterland.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Mascara Mountains

Rugged peaks and deep ravines visible immediately after takeoff from Ghriss.

🏔️

Ouarsenis Massif

Distal but imposing views of the Tell Atlas peaks dominating the northern horizon.

💧

Oued Mina Basin

Winding riverbeds and seasonal watercourses carving through the semi-arid terrain.

🍇

Mascara Vineyards

Distinctive patches of green agricultural land famous for historical Algerian viticulture.

Sit on the left for the best views of the mountain relief. Morning flights are ideal as the sun highlights the northern slopes of the Ouarsenis. Since this is a very short flight, keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff as cruising altitude is reached quickly.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌾

Sersou Plateau

The vast, golden expanse of cereal fields characterizing the high plateaus near Tiaret.

🏜️

Saharan Atlas Foothills

Distant views to the south where the landscape transitions toward the Saharan boundary.

🐎

Tiaret Plains

The 'capital of the horse' region, look for large ranch structures and equestrian centers on approach.

🌵

High Plateau Steppe

The unique semi-desert flora and geometric patterns of dry-land farming.

The right side is perfect for late afternoon flights to witness the golden hour over the Sersou plateau. Look for the geometric patterns of the wheat fields during the harvest season. It provides a sense of the immense scale of Algeria's interior high plains.
