ORN โ TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Es Senia Airport (Oran) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior geographic experience, showcasing the diverse landscapes of the Maghreb, including the rugged Tell Atlas mountain range, major coastal cities like Algiers and Annaba, and the fertile inland valleys of Tunisia.
Oran Sebkha
The massive salt lake and urban sprawl of Oran immediately after takeoff.
Tell Atlas Mountains
Dramatic views of the jagged mountain ridges that run parallel to the coast.
Algiers Bay
A stunning aerial perspective of the 'White City' and its crescent-shaped harbor.
Annaba Basin
The historic industrial port and the scenic mountains surrounding this major eastern city.
Medjerda Valley
The winding river and lush green agricultural fields of northern Tunisia's heartland.
Carthage Vicinity
Possible glimpses of the sprawling archaeological sites and the Presidential Palace on the coast.
Choose the right side for morning flights to ensure the Atlas Mountains are well-lit by the sun. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best views of Algiers. In winter, look for snow-capped peaks on the highest ridges of the Djurdjura range within the Atlas system.
Mediterranean Expanse
Vast, uninterrupted views of the deep blue sea stretching toward the European horizon.
Algerian Shoreline
Rugged cliffs and hidden sandy coves along the coast near Mostaganem and Tรฉnรจs.
Maritime Traffic
Spotting large cargo vessels and ferries navigating the busy Mediterranean shipping lanes.
Sidi Bou Said
The iconic blue and white cliffside village visible during the final descent into Tunis.
Gulf of Tunis
Shallow turquoise waters and coastal lagoons as the plane prepares for landing.
This side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and catch the sunset over the sea. During the approach to Tunis, look for the distinctive architecture of the northern suburbs and the ancient Punic ports. Use polarized lenses to better see the reefs and water depth changes along the coast.
