TUNALG

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a continuous and breathtaking view of the Mediterranean coastline, showcasing the transition from the Gulf of Tunis to the rugged Algerian cliffs and the iconic Algiers bay.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Gulf of Tunis

Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the blue waters and the ancient site of Carthage.

⚓

Annaba Coastline

See the historic port city of Annaba and the 'Green Hill' overlooking the Mediterranean.

🏔️

Collo Peninsula

Marvel at the dramatic, rocky outcrops where the mountains crash directly into the sea.

🚢

Gulf of Béjaïa

Observe the large natural harbor and the distinct 'Monkey Peak' (Pic des Singes) cliffside.

🏙️

Algiers Bay

The 'White City' (Alger la Blanche) provides a spectacular urban panorama during the final landing approach.

Sit on the right side for morning flights to get the best lighting on the coastal cliffs. To maximize the view of the Algiers waterfront and the Casbah during landing, ensure you are seated ahead of the wing. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns into the bay for the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏞️

Medjerda River Valley

View the winding path of Tunisia's longest river as it carves through fertile agricultural basins.

⛰️

Tell Atlas Range

Observe the parallel ridges of the Atlas Mountains that define the topography of Northern Algeria.

🌲

Djurdjura National Park

Look for the jagged limestone peaks and dense cedar forests of the Kabylia region south of the flight path.

🚜

Mitidja Plain

As you descend into Algiers, view the vast agricultural checkerboard of citrus groves and vineyards.

Choose the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to experience the silhouette of the Atlas Mountains against the sunset. During winter, look for snow caps on the higher peaks of the Djurdjura range. It is generally quieter for photography due to less direct sun glare from the south.
