TID → ALG
Which side of the plane to sit from Bou Chekif Airport (Tiaret) to Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Tell Atlas peaks, the lush Chréa National Park, and the iconic Algiers Bay with the Great Mosque during the final descent.
Chréa National Park
High-altitude cedar forests and snow-capped peaks during winter months.
Mitidja Plain
Algeria's most fertile agricultural belt, appearing as a vibrant green patchwork.
Djamaa el Djazaïr
The Great Mosque of Algiers, featuring the world's tallest minaret, stands out on the coast.
Algiers Bay
A panoramic view of the 'White City' curving around the harbor during the final approach.
The right side is essential for the iconic Algiers skyline. Try to secure a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the scale of the Great Mosque and the harbor. Late afternoon flights provide a beautiful golden glow over the 'Alger la Blanche' architecture.
Ouarsenis Massif
Dramatic limestone peaks of the western Tell Atlas range shortly after takeoff.
Boughzoul Reservoir
A glimpse of the large water body reflecting the sky amidst the semi-arid landscape.
Tipaza Coastline
Ancient Roman ruins and turquoise Mediterranean waters visible as the plane nears the coast.
Sit on the left for better views of the rugged western interior and the Roman heritage sites near Tipaza. Morning flights offer excellent lighting on the mountains without glare from the Mediterranean sun.
