Mount Tahat
Algeria's highest peak (2,918m), visible in the distance as you climb out of the Ahaggar volcanic massif.
Tassili n'Ajjer Edge
View the western fringes of this UNESCO site, famous for its 'forests of stone' and ancient rock art canyons.
Grand Erg Oriental
A massive 'sea of sand' with intricate longitudinal dune patterns that stretch endlessly toward the horizon.
Chott el Hodna
A giant endorheic salt lake that appears as a shimmering white expanse amidst the high plains.
Bay of Algiers
A stunning panoramic view of the 'White City' curving around the Mediterranean coast during the final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for landmarks. For the best photography of the sand dunes, a morning flight provides long shadows that emphasize the height of the ergs. On the final descent into ALG, this side usually offers the iconic view of the Memorial du Martyr and the harbor.

Hoggar Basalt Flows
Unique volcanic basalt formations and dark rocky outcrops visible immediately after takeoff from Tamanrasset.
Plateau du Tademaït
A vast, desolate, and incredibly flat rocky desert plateau that showcases the extreme scale of the Sahara.
Saharan Atlas
The rugged transition zone where the desert meets the mountain ranges of Northern Algeria near Laghouat.
Mitidja Plain
The fertile green agricultural heartland of Algeria, providing a sharp color contrast to the desert just before landing.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the Saharan sun. It offers a great perspective on the transition from the red desert to the green northern valleys. Keep an eye out for the ancient irrigation systems visible in the oases near Ghardaïa.
