Which side of the plane to sit from Es Senia Airport (Oran) to Touat Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkebir Airport (Adrar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior sequence of views starting with the coastal urban sprawl of Oran, followed by the rugged Saharan Atlas mountain ranges and the early morning sun reflecting off the vast desert horizons.

Oran Cityscape
A stunning view of the Mediterranean coastline and the 'Radiant City' of Oran as the aircraft gains altitude.
Saharan Atlas Ridges
Direct views of the Djebel Amour mountains, featuring sharp ridges and deep canyons that mark the desert boundary.
The Eastern Erg
The initial transition into the Sahara where the plateau gives way to the first waves of the sand sea.
Gourara Oases
Distant views of emerald-green palm groves and red-clay ksour villages dotting the arid landscape.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to see the desert landscape illuminated by soft light without the harsh glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the first 30 minutes of the flight as you cross the mountainous transition zone into the Saharan interior.

Sebkha d'Oran
A massive, shimmering salt lake just south of Oran that provides a stark white contrast to the surrounding terrain.
The High Plateaus
The vast, desolate beauty of the Hauts Plateaux, a high-altitude steppe between the two Atlas ranges.
Grand Erg Occidental
Exceptional views of the massive, complex dune patterns of one of the Sahara's largest sand seas.
Adrar Foggaras
As you descend into Adrar, look for the unique circular and linear patterns of ancient underground irrigation systems.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as the lowering sun creates dramatic shadows across the giant dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental. Keep your eyes peeled during the final 15 minutes of the flight to spot the traditional 'Foggaras' irrigation holes near the Adrar oasis.
