TUN → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse landscape, capturing the transition from the Sahara's vast dunes to the snaking Nile River and the striking West Bay skyline upon arrival in Doha.
Carthage & Tunis
Immediate views of the Lake of Tunis and the ancient ruins of Carthage right after takeoff.
Sahara Desert
Endless rolling dunes of the Great Sand Sea across Libya and Western Egypt.
The Nile River
A clear view of the river's fertile valley as a thin green ribbon cutting through the desert.
Red Sea Crossing
Vibrant coral reefs and deep blue waters where the African and Arabian plates meet.
Riyadh Skyline
The sprawling urban landscape and skyscrapers of the Saudi capital during the trans-peninsular leg.
Doha West Bay
The futuristic cluster of skyscrapers in Doha's financial district during the final landing phase.
Sit on the right for the most iconic Middle Eastern landmarks. For sunset flights, this side experiences a 'Golden Hour' effect over the desert dunes. Keep your window shade down during the midday peak to manage cabin heat, then open it as you cross the Nile for the best photos.
Mediterranean Coast
Aerial views of the North African coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea shortly after departure.
Nile Delta
The lush green expanse of the Delta contrasting sharply with the surrounding arid Egyptian desert.
Sinai Peninsula
Rugged, mountainous terrain and the unique geological colors of the Sinai region.
Persian Gulf
Azure waters dotted with cargo ships and offshore platforms as you approach the Qatari peninsula.
The Pearl-Qatar
The iconic man-made island development visible during the descent into Hamad International.
The left side is ideal for daytime flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It offers excellent views of the Nile Delta's northern edge and generally provides a clearer view of the Pearl-Qatar if the flight approaches DOH from the north.
