TUN → BEY
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Mediterranean islands, including Sicily, Crete, and Cyprus, before providing a dramatic reveal of the Mount Lebanon range upon arrival.
Carthage & Sidi Bou Said
Immediately after takeoff, catch the ancient ruins of Carthage and the iconic blue-and-white village perched on the cliffside.
Sicily & Pantelleria
Aerial views of the Italian island of Pantelleria and the southern rugged coastline of Sicily near Agrigento.
Crete's Mountains
Passing south of Greece, the snow-capped peaks of the Lefka Ori range on Crete are often visible above the clouds.
Southern Cyprus
Clear views of the Akrotiri Peninsula and the city of Limassol as the flight traverses the Levantine Sea.
Mount Lebanon Range
A stunning descent toward Beirut featuring the dramatic limestone ridges of the Lebanese mountains falling into the sea.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you while viewing the European coastlines. On approach to BEY, the left side usually gets a sweeping view of the Beirut northern coastline and the Pigeon Rocks (Raouche) if the plane loops from the north.
Mediterranean Deep
Expansive views of the deep azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, showcasing various shades of blue.
Nile Delta Fringes
On very clear days and southerly routes, the faint green haze of the Egyptian Nile Delta can be seen on the southern horizon.
Beirut Southern Suburbs
As the aircraft lines up with the runway at BEY, you get a close-up view of the densely populated southern districts of the capital.
Sunset Horizon
On evening flights, the right side captures the full transition of the sun setting over the Mediterranean horizon.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy vast maritime horizons and sunset photography. During the final minutes of the flight, this side provides a better look at the Rafic Hariri Airport's proximity to the coastline. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the sea surface.
