Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Cabrera Archipelago shortly after takeoff and a more dramatic panoramic view of the Bay of Algiers and the city skyline during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Cabrera National Park

Aerial view of the stunning archipelago and maritime-terrestrial national park south of Mallorca.

🌊

Mediterranean Deep

Vast stretches of deep turquoise waters in the Balearic Sea during the cruise phase.

🏖️

Cap Matifou

The eastern headland of the Bay of Algiers, signaling the transition from sea to land.

🕌

The Great Mosque

A clear view of the Djamaa el Djazaïr and its world-record height minaret during the descent.

Sit on the left side to see the Cabrera islands approximately 10 minutes after departure from PMI. During arrival into Algiers, this side faces the main city center and the harbor. Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun glare and see the 'White City' illuminated.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Distal views of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range during the initial climb out.

🚢

Maritime Lanes

Active shipping lanes where ferries and cargo ships transit between Europe and North Africa.

🏔️

Tell Atlas Range

The rugged peaks of the Algerian mountains appearing on the horizon during the descent.

🏙️

The Casbah

The historic heart of Algiers visible as the aircraft maneuvers toward the airport runway.

The right side is excellent for sunset views if flying in the evening. Keep an eye out for the western coastline of the Bay of Algiers. While mostly sea during the middle of the flight, the approach offers a good perspective of the dense urban sprawl and the Atlas foothills.
