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