Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Tozeur Nefta International Airport (Tozeur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean coastline and the Atlas mountain ridges to the surreal salt flats of Chott el Djerid and the vast Sahara.
Carthage and Sidi Bou Said
Immediate views after takeoff of the ancient Roman ruins and the iconic blue-and-white village on the cliffside.
Tunisian Dorsal
The eastern extension of the Atlas Mountains, featuring rugged limestone ridges and deep valleys.
Chott el Djerid
The largest salt pan in the Sahara, appearing as a shimmering, otherworldly expanse of white and purple salt crust.
Tozeur Oasis
A dense sea of over 200,000 date palm trees providing a sharp green contrast against the desert sand during the final approach.
The right side is essential for the descent into Tozeur; the view of Chott el Djerid is one of the most unique aerial sights in North Africa. For the best photography of the salt flats, choose a window seat behind the wing to minimize engine heat haze.
Gulf of Hammamet
Distant views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline as the plane heads south from the capital.
Kairouan Medina
The historic holy city with its Great Mosque visible as a geometric focal point amidst the white-washed buildings.
Sebkhet de Sidi El Hani
Large seasonal salt lake that creates intricate patterns of white and gray on the landscape.
Central Steppes
Vast agricultural plains that show the transition from fertile northern land to the arid south.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best lighting over the Gulf of Hammamet. Keep an eye out for the distinctive minaret of Kairouan approximately 20 minutes after departure from Tunis.
