TUN → MIR
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (Monastir)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning continuous view of the Mediterranean coastline, the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Hammamet, and the historic landmarks of Monastir upon arrival.
Gulf of Tunis
Panoramic views of the deep blue Mediterranean immediately following takeoff from Tunis Carthage.
Hammamet Coastline
Clear views of the iconic resort town's white-washed architecture and sandy beaches along the bay.
Monastir Ribat
The majestic 8th-century Islamic fortress becomes visible during the low-altitude approach into MIR.
Marina Cap Monastir
A bird's-eye view of the luxury yachts and the organized docks of the Monastir harbor area.
Choose the left side (Seat A) for the most scenic coastal views. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes of the Sahel region. Look out for the distinctive pink hues of coastal lagoons during spring and autumn.
Sebkhet Sedjoumi
A vast salt lake south of Tunis that often hosts large populations of flamingos and migratory birds.
Sahel Olive Groves
Thousands of meticulously planted olive trees forming geometric patterns across the Tunisian interior.
Sousse Medina
Aerial perspective of the UNESCO-listed old city and its surrounding defensive walls just north of Monastir.
Sebkha Kalbia
An inland salt lake that changes color seasonally, offering stark geographic contrast to the coastal greenery.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the contrast between the urban sprawl of Tunis and the agricultural plains.
