Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a more dramatic perspective of the French coastline and the stunning turquoise lagoons as you approach the island of Djerba from the north-east.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ—ผ

Paris Cityscape

Aerial views of the southern Paris suburbs and potentially the Eiffel Tower depending on the takeoff direction.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

French Alps

On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps are visible to the east while flying over southern France.

๐ŸŒŠ

French Riviera

Spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline, often passing near the vibrant blue waters of Marseille and the Calanques.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ณ

Cap Bon

The first glimpse of Tunisia, featuring the fertile peninsula that juts out into the Mediterranean Sea.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Hammamet Gulf

Clear views of the white-sand beaches and luxury resorts lining the Gulf of Hammamet.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Djerba Lagoon

A stunning final approach over the turquoise shallow waters surrounding the 'Island of Dreams'.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is superior for spotting the transition from the rugged European coast to the North African landscape. Watch for the alpine silhouette about 30-40 minutes into the flight. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep blue Mediterranean and the light turquoise shallows of Djerba.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
๐ŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Rugged volcanic terrain and deep river gorges of central France visible during the first half of the flight.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Pyrenees Silhouette

Distant views of the mountain range marking the border between France and Spain to the far west.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Sardinia Coastline

The flight path often passes near the western coast of Sardinia, offering views of its rocky cliffs and hidden coves.

๐Ÿง‚

Sebkhet Halk el Menzel

Large salt flats and coastal lagoons visible along the Tunisian Sahel region.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Gulf of Gabรจs

The unique landscape where the Sahara desert begins to meet the Mediterranean sea.

๐ŸŒ‰

El Kantara Causeway

The ancient Roman road connecting the southern tip of Djerba to the Tunisian mainland.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light over the Mediterranean. It offers a better view of the Roman bridge (El Kantara) if the plane approaches Djerba from the south or west. Look for the shimmering salt pans as you cross into Tunisian airspace, which creates a mosaic-like pattern on the ground.
