ORYMIR

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for viewing the French Alps in the distance, the mountainous terrain of Corsica, and a spectacular approach over the Gulf of Hammamet and the city of Sousse.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Parisian Outskirts

Aerial views of the southern suburbs and the Seine River valley immediately after takeoff from Orly.

🏔️

The French Alps

Spectacular distant views of the snow-capped Alpine peaks while cruising over southeastern France.

⛰️

Corsica

Dramatic views of the rugged 'Island of Beauty' and its eastern coastline as you cross the Mediterranean.

🌊

Gulf of Hammamet

The deep blue waters of the gulf contrasted against the white sandy beaches of the Tunisian coastline.

🏰

Sousse Medina

Clear views of the historic Ribat and the UNESCO-listed medina of Sousse during the final descent into Monastir.

Opt for a seat ahead of the wing to capture the best photos of the Alps and the Tunisian coast. For morning flights, this side receives direct sunlight, while late afternoon flights offer beautiful soft lighting on the Tunisian landscape. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the coastal approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌋

Massif Central

Views of the ancient volcanic landscapes and rolling plateaus of south-central France.

🏝️

Sardinia

The rugged western cliffs and turquoise bays of the Italian island during the trans-Mediterranean crossing.

🧂

Sebkha Halk El Menzel

Large, shimmering salt lakes and coastal lagoons located just north of Monastir.

🌳

Tunisian Sahel

The vast olive groves that define the landscape of the Sahel region as the plane prepares for landing.

This side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a more peaceful view of the open Mediterranean and the unique agricultural patterns of inland Tunisia. Watch for the distinct color changes in the salt lakes during the summer months when they partially dry up.
