Which side of the plane to sit from Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the Mediterranean coastline, providing clear views of the turquoise lagoons and the dramatic approach into Djerba island.
Tripoli Waterfront
Aerial view of the Libyan capital's harbor and the azure waters of the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.
Farwah Lagoon
A stunning long sandspit and lagoon near the border, known for its vibrant shades of blue and green water.
Zarzis Peninsula
The coastal town of Zarzis with its white-washed buildings and fishing ports as the plane begins its descent.
Djerba Coastline
A panoramic view of the 'Island of Dreams,' showcasing the traditional architecture and palm-fringed beaches.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the coastline bathed in soft light. During the final approach into DJE, watch for the El Kantara causeway, the ancient Roman road connecting Djerba to the mainland, which is most visible from this side.
Jaffara Plain
The expansive coastal plain of northwestern Libya, showing the transition from urban Tripoli to arid landscapes.
Sabratha Ruins
Look for the ancient Roman theater and archaeological site situated right on the edge of the Mediterranean.
Zuwarah Salt Flats
Bright white sebkhas (salt flats) located near the Libyan-Tunisian border, creating a high-contrast geometric landscape.
Tunisian Steppe
The rugged terrain of southeastern Tunisia, featuring traditional Berber agricultural patterns and olive groves.
For afternoon flights, the left side is preferable to avoid direct sun glare. Keep a sharp eye out within the first 10 minutes of flight for the Sabratha ruins, which appear as a distinctive cluster of red-brown structures near the shore.
