Gulf of Gabes
View the Tunisian shoreline and the scattered Kerkennah Islands shortly after departure.
Tripoli Waterfront
See the Libyan capital's modern architecture and historic harbor as the flight follows the coast.
Gulf of Sidra
Observe the vast, deep blue curve of the Mediterranean coastline along this major maritime bay.
Benghazi Port
A clear view of Libya's second-largest city and its complex maritime and urban layout.
Al Akhdar Cliffs
The dramatic point where the Green Mountain range meets the sea in the Cyrenaica region.
Sit on the left for the best coastal city spotting. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is positioned in the southeast, illuminating the shoreline without creating harsh window glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the blue sea and the arid land near the Gulf of Sidra.

Sebkha Salt Flats

Cyrenaica Highlands
