Sabratha Ancient Ruins
Shortly after takeoff from Tripoli, look for the well-preserved Roman theater and archaeological site right on the Mediterranean shore.
Island of Djerba
A clear view of the 'Island of Dreams', including the Roman Causeway bridge connecting the island to the Tunisian mainland.
Sfax Urban Center
As the flight progresses north, see Tunisia's second-largest city and its historic walled Medina from above.
Gabes Coastal Oasis
Witness the rare sight of Mediterranean palm groves meeting the sea in the Gulf of Gabes area.
Sebkhet El Melah
Large salt flats near the border that create striking white and pink geometric patterns against the desert sand.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for photographers looking to capture the contrast between the turquoise sea and the Saharan architecture. Keep your camera ready within 10 minutes of departure for the Sabratha ruins.

Mediterranean Deep Blue
Expansive views of the Mediterranean Sea where the water shifts from turquoise shallows to deep indigo.
Kerkennah Islands
A cluster of low-lying islands near Sfax, famous for their traditional fixed-fishery systems visible in the shallow waters.
Monastir Ribat
On the final approach to MIR, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the 8th-century Islamic fortress and the Bourguiba Mausoleum.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the sea. Watch for the traditional 'charfia' fishing traps in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Gabes, which look like intricate wooden fences in the water.
