Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning departure over the French Riviera and follows the most iconic parts of the Tunisian coastline, including the Cap Bon peninsula and the Gulf of Hammamet.
French Riviera Coastline
Aerial views of Nice's Promenade des Anglais and the glittering coastline toward Monaco immediately after takeoff.
Northern Corsica
The rugged 'Finger' of Corsica (Cap Corse) and the city of Bastia are often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Cap Bon Peninsula
The dramatic northeast tip of Tunisia where the Mediterranean meets the African continent.
Gulf of Hammamet
Clear views of the historic coastal resorts of Hammamet, Sousse, and the Monastir marina during descent.
El Kantara Causeway
The ancient Roman bridge connecting the southeast tip of Djerba to the Tunisian mainland.
For the best photography of the Tunisian coast, opt for a mid-afternoon flight when the sun is behind the plane. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the turquoise waters as you approach Djerba Zarzis.
Esterel Massif
The striking red volcanic rock formations near Cannes visible shortly after departure from NCE.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow passage between Corsica and Sardinia, featuring white limestone cliffs and emerald waters.
Tunisian Sahel
The vast expanse of olive groves and traditional agricultural patterns of the central Tunisian plains.
Sebkhet de Monastir
Large salt flats and lagoons near the coast that change color based on the season and water levels.
Houmt Souk
The main town of Djerba, characterized by its traditional white-washed 'Menzel' architecture and flat landscapes.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Look for the rugged western coast of Sardinia roughly halfway through the journey, and keep an eye out for the shimmering salt lakes near Sousse.
