Gulf of Gabes
Aerial views of the shallow turquoise waters and the unique ecosystem of Tunisia's eastern coast.
Djerba Island
A clear view of the 'Island of Dreams' with its white-washed architecture and palm-lined beaches.
Zarzis Peninsula
The beautiful coastline stretching towards the border, marked by salt pans and sandy shores.
Tripoli Coastline
The approach into Tripoli offers a scenic view of the North African coast merging with the deep blue sea.
For the best visibility of Djerba's coastline, sit on the left side. Morning flights are ideal as the sun rises over the Mediterranean, illuminating the water's turquoise hues. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the plane follows the coastline south.
