Tunisian Sahel
As you enter Tunisia, look for the vast, geometric patterns of ancient olive groves stretching toward the horizon.
Sousse and Monastir

The left side is ideal for morning flights as the sun rises over the sea, illuminating the coastal landforms. Watch for the sharp contrast in soil color as the plane moves from the reddish Libyan sands to the more fertile Tunisian plains. Keep an eye out for the Sabkhat coastal salt flats which appear as bright white patches near the shore.

Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep azure Mediterranean, often dotted with cargo ships on international trade routes.

The famous 'Island of Dreams' can often be seen floating just off the Tunisian coast depending on the specific air corridor.
Gulf of Hammamet
The sweeping azure bay known for its resort towns and crystal clear coastal waters.
Sidi Bou Said
The iconic blue-and-white village perched on the cliffs of Cape Carthage, visible during the final descent into Tunis.
Port of La Goulette
The main gateway to Tunis, often filled with massive ferries and white cruise ships near the Lake of Tunis entrance.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun.

This side is also excellent for spotting the volcanic island of Pantelleria in the distance on exceptionally clear days.
