Ethiopian Highlands
Breathtaking vistas of the 'Roof of Africa,' featuring high plateaus and jagged mountain peaks.
Red Sea Coast
The stunning contrast between the turquoise coral reefs and the stark desert landscape of Egypt and Sudan.
Nile Delta
The sprawling green fertile lands of the Nile Delta as it meets the Mediterranean Sea.
French Riviera
Glamorous views of the Mediterranean coastline, including the cities of Nice and Cannes on the approach.
Calanques National Park
Dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets visible just minutes before landing at Marseille Provence.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase, as the standard approach path often follows the coastline of Provence. For photography, the right side generally avoids direct sunlight glare during northbound daylight flights, providing clearer views of the African landscape and the French coast.

Madagascar Highlands
Spectacular views of the unique red earth and terraced agriculture surrounding Antananarivo upon departure.
Sahara Desert
Immense stretches of the central Sahara, featuring golden sand dunes and dark volcanic rock formations.
Mediterranean Blue
The expansive transition from the North African coastline into the deep azure waters of the Mediterranean.
Massif Central

Opt for the left side if you enjoy watching the sunset over the desert, as most flights from TNR to MRS track northward. This side also offers a clear view of the vastness of the African interior. Be sure to look out early for the distinct 'Red Island' topography of Madagascar.
