TUN → DJE
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous panoramic view of the Tunisian coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, providing the most scenic experience during this domestic hop.
Gulf of Tunis
Immediately after takeoff, witness the sweeping curve of the gulf and the turquoise waters bordering the capital.
Hammamet & Sousse
Aerial views of the famous white-sand beaches and coastal resorts of the Cap Bon and Sahel regions.
Monastir Peninsula
Spot the Ribat of Monastir and the marina as the flight tracks south along the eastern shoreline.
Kerkennah Islands
The low-lying archipelago near Sfax appears like a mirage in the middle of the Gulf of Gabes.
Djerba Coastline
Crystal clear shallow waters and traditional fishing traps (charfia) visible during the final descent.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean without glare. This side is superior for photography of the coastal wetlands and the Kerkennah Islands. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the best shots of Djerba's turquoise shores.
Lake Tunis
A great view of the lagoon and the causeway connecting Tunis to La Goulette right after departure.
Sahel Olive Groves
Millions of olive trees arranged in geometric patterns stretch across the plains of central Tunisia.
Sebkhet Sidi El Hani
Large, shimmering salt flats that change color from white to pink depending on the season and moisture.
Sfax Urban Area
Views of Tunisia's second-largest city, including its industrial port and the dense medina walls.
The Roman Causeway
The ancient 7km road (El Kantara) connecting Djerba island to the mainland is visible on the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as you can watch the sun dip below the horizon over the vast Tunisian interior. It offers a better perspective of the agricultural heartland and the impressive Roman Causeway just before landing. Look for the white domes of Djerba's traditional 'Menzel' houses scattered across the island's countryside.
