Which side of the plane to sit from Gardabya Airport (Sirt) to Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular view of the Mediterranean coastline, the deep blue Gulf of Sirte, and the ancient Roman ruins of Leptis Magna.
Gulf of Sirte
Expansive views of the Mediterranean Sea where the desert meets the deep blue waters.
Port of Misrata
One of Libya's most active maritime hubs, featuring large cargo ships and industrial infrastructure.
Leptis Magna Ruins
The sprawling UNESCO World Heritage site near Al-Khums, showing the layout of the ancient Roman city from above.
Zliten Shoreline
Picturesque coastal views featuring white sandy beaches and turquoise waters near the town of Zliten.
Tripoli Skyline
On final approach, the expanding urban sprawl and the iconic architecture of the capital city become visible.
For the most scenic experience, a morning flight is ideal as the sun illuminates the coastline from the east. Keep a sharp eye out for Leptis Magna roughly 30 minutes into the flight; the amphitheater and harbor are clearly distinguishable from altitude.
Sirte Basin Desert
Vast stretches of arid landscapes and sand dunes characteristic of northern Libya's desert terrain.
Misrata Farmlands
Intricate patches of agricultural development and circular irrigation systems visible as you approach the city of Misrata.
Libyan Coastal Highway
The main arterial road connecting the east and west of the country, snaking through the desert landscape.
Jafara Plain
A transition into more fertile land with olive and citrus groves as the flight nears the Tripoli region.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the stark beauty of the Saharan fringes. Mid-day flights provide the best lighting to see the contrast in sand colors and the layout of the agricultural projects.
