TOE → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tozeur Nefta International Airport (Tozeur) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of Tunisia's diverse geography, starting with the vast salt flats of Chott el Djerid and transitioning into the rugged Atlas Dorsale mountains before descending over the urban landscape of Tunis.
Chott el Djerid
Glimpse the shimmering, crystalline salt flats of the largest endorheic salt lake in the Sahara desert shortly after takeoff.
Atlas Dorsale
Pass over the eastern extension of the Atlas Mountains, featuring jagged limestone ridges and deep valleys.
Lake of Tunis
A shallow lagoon located between the city of Tunis and the Gulf of Tunis, clearly visible during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is ideal for capturing the high-contrast textures of the salt lakes. During the final descent into TUN, you will get a clearer view of the city center and the historical Belvédère Park area.
Tozeur Palmeraie
Look down upon the massive, dense oasis featuring hundreds of thousands of date palm trees immediately after departure.
Kairouan Plains
Fly over the flat agricultural heartland of the Sahel region, with the historic city of Kairouan often visible in the distance.
Gulf of Tunis
Enjoy sweeping views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline and the ruins of ancient Carthage as the plane banks for approach.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light over the desert landscape. Keep an eye out for the white domes of regional shrines across the plains. On the final approach, this side usually offers the best view of the La Goulette port and the Punic Harbors.
