Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport (Madinah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic view of the Tunisian coastline, the vast Sahara dunes, and the iconic contrast of the Nile River valley against the desert sands.
Search flights from TUN to MED
Djerba Island
The famous 'Island of Dreams' with its white-domed architecture and circular coastline off southern Tunisia.
The Great Sand Sea
Endless rolling dunes of the Sahara stretching across the Libyan and Egyptian borders.
Nile River Valley
The stark 'green line' where fertile vegetation immediately gives way to the harsh Eastern Desert.
Red Sea Mountains
Jagged, dark peaks along the Egyptian coast that create a dramatic barrier before the sea.
Harrat Rahat
Extensive black volcanic lava fields visible during the final descent into Madinah.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset over the Sahara if flying in the late afternoon. For the best views of the Nile's fertility contrast, choose a window seat behind the wing. Ensure your window is clear as you approach Madinah to see the unique black basalt rock formations (Harrats) that surround the holy city.

Gulf of Tunis
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and the historic ruins of Carthage shortly after takeoff.
Nile Delta
The massive, lush green fan of the Nile Delta contrasting sharply with the surrounding arid landscape.
Sinai Peninsula
Rugged, reddish-brown mountain ranges and the southern tip of the Sinai near the Red Sea.
Tiran Island
Aerial perspectives of the crystal-clear waters and coral reefs at the entrance of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is superior for observing the sheer scale of the Nile Delta. Keep a close watch as you approach the Red Sea to spot the distinct turquoise rings of coral reefs near the shoreline.
