Ouargla Palm Groves
Vibrant green oases of date palms creating a sharp contrast against the surrounding desert floor shortly after takeoff.
Sebkha d'Oran
A massive endorheic salt lake that appears as a shimmering white or pink basin depending on the season and water levels.
Plateau du Tademaït
Expansive views of the high desert plateaus and ancient dried oueds (riverbeds) carving the landscape.
Oran Southern Suburbs
Clear views of the developing metropolitan area and the Santa Cruz chapel in the distance during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, maximizing visibility. The highlight is the approach over the Sebkha; look for the distinct salt crusts during the summer months when the water evaporates.
