Tunis and Carthage
Aerial views of the Tunisian capital, the Lake of Tunis, and the historic ruins of Carthage shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Hammamet
The curving coastline dotted with white-sand resort towns like Hammamet and Sousse.
Djerba Island
A clear view of the 'Island of Dreams' and the Roman causeway connecting it to the mainland.
Tripolitanian Coast
The vast transition from the Mediterranean waters to the golden dunes of the Libyan Sahara.
Jebel Akhdar Foothills
The rare green vegetation of the 'Green Mountain' region visible as the plane descends into Benghazi.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right. During afternoon flights, the sun is positioned to the south/west, illuminating the Tunisian coast and salt flats (Sebkhas) near Sfax with a brilliant golden hue. Keep a close watch for the circular irrigation patterns common in the arid regions of western Libya.

Cap Bon Peninsula
The northernmost tip of the Tunisian coast reaching out toward Sicily.
Central Mediterranean
Expansive views of the deep blue sea and active shipping lanes between Europe and Africa.
