TUN โ TIP
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the rugged Atlas foothills to the vast, shimmering salt flats and the golden fringes of the Sahara Desert.
Zaghouan Massif
Rugged limestone peaks that mark the easternmost extent of the Atlas Mountains shortly after leaving Tunis.
Sebkhet Sidi El Hani
Large, shimmering salt lakes that appear as brilliant white or pinkish patches in the arid landscape.
Matmata Plateau
The unique, moon-like terrain of southern Tunisia, famous for its troglodyte dwellings and Star Wars filming locations.
Jifara Plain
The vast, arid expanse that bridges the gap between the Tunisian Sahel and the Libyan desert.
For the most dramatic experience, book a late afternoon flight on the right side to see the Sahara and salt flats bathed in golden-hour light. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the mountain views.
Gulf of Hammamet
Stunning views of the deep turquoise Mediterranean waters and the white-sand coastline of eastern Tunisia.
Monastir & Sousse
The dense urban sprawl and historic ribats of these coastal cities are visible shortly after takeoff.
Djerba Island
Look for the distinct shape of the 'Island of Dreams' as the flight passes the Gulf of Gabรจs.
Tripoli Waterfront
As you descend into Tripoli, the left side provides views of the harbor and the city's Mediterranean skyline.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to capture the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean without the sun's glare. It is also the best side for spotting the island of Djerba during clear conditions.
