Gulf of Tunis
Immediate views of the deep blue Mediterranean and the ancient ruins of Carthage lining the shore upon takeoff.
Hammamet Bay
A stunning view of the sweeping white beaches and turquoise waters that define Tunisia's most famous resort town.
Monastir Ribat
The historic Islamic fortress and the prominent mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba are visible on the Monastir peninsula.
Mahdia Cape
The narrow, rocky tip of Mahdia reaching into the sea, showcasing its traditional fishing port and lighthouse.
Kerkennah Islands
On clear days and during the final descent, the low-lying archipelago appears as thin strips of land in the Gulf of Gabès.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunlight glisten off the Mediterranean. This side is consistently more scenic as it tracks the coastline for most of the short duration. Look out for the distinct color change in the water near the shoals of the Sahel region.

Tunis Cityscape
Panoramic views of the capital's dense urban center, the Lake of Tunis, and the suburban sprawl toward the south.
Jebel Zaghouan
The rugged silhouette of the Tunisian Dorsale mountain range rising sharply from the surrounding plains.
El Jem Amphitheatre
The massive, well-preserved Roman colosseum stands out as a colossal stone landmark amidst the flat inland landscape.
Sahel Olive Groves
Thousands of olive trees planted in perfect geometric grids, a testament to Sfax's status as the olive capital.
Sebkhet Sidi El Hani
Large, shimmering salt pans that vary in color from bright white to earthy pink depending on the season and moisture.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the water. Keep a keen eye out for the Amphitheatre of El Jem about 20 minutes into the flight; it is one of the most significant archaeological landmarks visible from the air in North Africa.
