TMR → GHA
Which side of the plane to sit from Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport (Tamanrasset) to Noumérat - Moufdi Zakaria Airport (Ghardaia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is the clear winner, offering a front-row seat to the volcanic wonders of the Ahaggar National Park immediately after takeoff from Tamanrasset, including the highest peaks in Algeria. As the flight progresses north, it provides a superior panoramic view of the ancient, UNESCO-listed M'Zab Valley cities upon descent into Ghardaia.

Mount Tahat
The highest peak in Algeria at 2,908 meters, part of the stunning Ahaggar mountain range.
Atakor Volcanic Field
A surreal landscape of volcanic plugs and basalt towers that look like fingers reaching out of the earth.
M'Zab Pentapolis
The cluster of five historic fortified cities including Ghardaia, Melika, and Beni Isguen, built into the valley walls.
El Atteuf
The oldest city in the M'Zab Valley, featuring unique 11th-century architecture and a iconic pyramid-shaped minaret.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of the Hoggar Mountains. Morning flights provide the best lighting, casting deep shadows that define the volcanic craters. During the descent into Ghardaia, the right side usually offers the best angle to see the tightly packed, colorful houses of the Pentapolis cities.

Erg Mehedjibat
Massive star-shaped sand dunes that create a mesmerizing geometric pattern against the desert floor.
Tademait Plateau
A stark, desolate limestone plateau known for its dark, rocky surface and dramatic 'hamada' landscape.
In Salah Outskirts
Distant views of the remote oasis town of In Salah, one of the hottest places in the Sahara.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare while looking toward the western horizon. This side offers better views of the expansive 'Reg' (gravel desert) and the distant, rolling dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental as you head north.
