TUN → JED
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the fertile Nile Delta, the sprawling metropolis of Cairo, and the stunning coral reefs of the northern Red Sea before the descent into Jeddah.
Mediterranean Shoreline
Stunning turquoise waters along the Libyan and Egyptian coastlines shortly after departure.
Cairo & Nile Delta
The vivid transition from barren desert to lush green fertile lands and the massive urban sprawl.
Gulf of Suez
Views of the northern tip of the Red Sea often dotted with cargo ships waiting for the canal.
Sinai Peninsula
The rugged, mountainous terrain of the southern Sinai region visible in the distance.
Red Sea Coral Reefs
Incredible turquoise patterns of submerged coral formations near the Saudi Arabian coast.
Request a seat on the left for the best views of the Nile Delta and Cairo. On evening flights, the city lights of Cairo provide a breathtaking spectacle. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Red Sea reefs during the final descent.
Gulf of Gabes
Beautiful coastal views of southern Tunisia and the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.
Sahara Dunes
Vast, undulating orange sand dunes of the Libyan and Western Deserts extending to the horizon.
Upper Nile Ribbon
The narrow green ribbon of the Nile valley cutting sharply through the surrounding desert.
Red Sea Mountains
Jagged, dark peaks of the Eastern Desert and the Hijaz mountain range in Saudi Arabia.
Jeddah Waterfront
Views of the King Fahd's Fountain and the evolving Red Sea coastline during arrival.
The right side is ideal for desert enthusiasts, offering endless vistas of the Sahara and the rugged Eastern Desert mountains. During daytime flights, use a polarized lens for photography to capture the intense textures of the dunes. Be prepared for strong afternoon sunlight on this side.
