Saharan Atlas Ridges
The rugged, folded mountain chains of Algeria that serve as the dramatic gateway between the Mediterranean and the desert.
Eye of the Sahara
The Richat Structure in Mauritania, a massive geological dome with concentric rings that is clearly visible from cruising altitude.
Atlantic Seaboard
The striking meeting point where the desert sands of Mauritania pour into the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Cap Vert Peninsula
A spectacular landing sequence over the westernmost tip of Africa, offering views of the Dakar harbor and the Almadies.
The 'Eye of the Sahara' is the highlight; track your flight path over Mauritania to catch it mid-flight. Mid-day flights provide the most vertical light to see into the depths of the Richat Structure. Be aware that the Harmattan dust storms can obscure ground views between December and March.

Tunis & Carthage
Historical views of the ancient Roman ruins and the sprawling modern capital immediately after takeoff from Carthage Airport.
Chott el Djerid
Shimmering salt pans of southern Tunisia that create a mirror-like effect, appearing white or pink depending on the season.
Grand Erg Occidental
A sea of towering, golden sand dunes in the Algerian Sahara that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Senegal River Basin
The winding river and green borderlands that mark the transition from the arid Mauritanian desert to the Senegalese Sahel.
Opt for a morning flight to avoid the sun's glare when looking east. In winter, the Chott el Djerid often holds water, enhancing its reflective quality. Watch for the transition from the brown Sahara to the green Sahel approximately 2.5 hours into the journey.
