Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Algiers skyline, the Great Mosque, and the dramatic transition from the Saharan Atlas to the Mediterranean coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Grand Erg Dunes

The intricate patterns of the northern Saharan sand dunes shortly after departure from Touggourt.

⛰️

Sahara Atlas Range

The rugged, arid peaks of the Amour and Ouled Naïl mountains forming a natural barrier.

🏙️

Algiers Cityscape

A breathtaking view of the 'White City' and the historic Casbah as the plane descends into the capital.

🕌

Djamaa el Djazaïr

The world's third-largest mosque and its massive minaret visible near the coastline.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. This side is particularly spectacular during the final 10 minutes of the flight when the plane banks over the Mitidja plain toward the Bay of Algiers.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌴

Oued Righ Oases

The striking green contrast of thousands of date palms against the desert floor near the takeoff point.

🏔️

Djurdjura Mountains

The snow-capped peaks of the Kabylie region visible in the distance during the mid-flight cruise.

🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

The deep blue expanse of the sea stretching toward Europe as the flight nears the northern coast.

The right side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Saharan palm groves early in the flight. In winter, look north-east to spot snow on the highest peaks of the Tell Atlas. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle color gradients of the salt flats (Chotts) often visible below.
