Which side of the plane to sit from Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport (Tamanrasset) to In Salah Airport (In Salah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Hoggar Mountains' volcanic spikes and the highest peaks of the Algerian Sahara shortly after takeoff.
Mount Tahat
Algeria's highest peak, part of the Atakor volcanic field, visible shortly after departing Tamanrasset.
Assekrem Plateau
A dramatic landscape of volcanic plugs and needles, famously home to the Hermitage of Father Foucauld.
Teffedest Mountains
A striking range of black volcanic and white granite mountains stretching northwards.
In Salah Oases
Green pockets of palm groves providing a stark contrast to the surrounding salt flats and dunes.
Sit on the right for the first 15 minutes of the flight to capture the most dramatic volcanic formations. Use a high shutter speed to capture the intricate textures of the lava flows and basaltic towers below.
Tassili de l'Immidir
A rugged sandstone plateau region featuring deep canyons and ancient geological layers.
Trans-Saharan Highway
Spot the thin thread of the N1 road, one of Africa's most legendary and isolated trade routes.
Erg Ine Sakane
Changing patterns of longitudinal sand dunes as the aircraft approaches the Tidikelt region.
Watch for the shifting 'barkhan' dunes near In Salah. Morning flights provide better contrast for the vast stony plains (reg) which can look washed out in the midday sun.
