OUA โ TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Ouagadougou Airport (Ouagadougou) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Hoggar Mountains' volcanic peaks and the shimmering expanse of Tunisia's famous salt flats during the descent.
Hoggar Mountains
Dramatic volcanic plugs and high-altitude plateaus in the heart of the Sahara Desert.
Chott el Djerid
A massive seasonal salt lake that glitters with white and purple hues from high altitude.
Tozeur Oasis
A vast sea of date palms located on the edge of the desert and the great salt pans.
Gulf of Gabรจs
The beautiful blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft turns toward Tunis.
Kairouan
View the historic holy city, recognizable by its grand mosque and dense urban layout during the final approach.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the Hoggar Mountains. Ensure you are watching during the final 30 minutes of the flight to catch the mesmerizing geometric patterns of the Tunisian salt lakes and the turquoise Mediterranean coast.
Great Western Erg
Massive, undulating sand dunes stretching toward the horizon in western Algeria.
Tassili n'Ajjer
Stunning sandstone plateaus and unique rock formations visible as the flight enters Algerian airspace.
Aurรจs Mountains
The eastern extension of the Atlas Mountains, featuring deep canyons and rugged limestone ridges.
Biskra Oasis
A vibrant green palm grove known as the 'Gate of the Sahara,' contrasting sharply with the arid surroundings.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see long shadows defining the sand dune crests. Keep an eye out for the transition from the flat Sahel to the dramatic sandstone canyons of Algeria. Look for the Mediterranean coastline appearing on the horizon just before landing.
