The left side provides a panoramic view of the UNESCO World Heritage site, featuring the ancient fortified cities and lush palm groves carved into the valley.
The Right Side is the clear winner, offering a front-row seat to the volcanic wonders of the Ahaggar National Park immediately after takeoff from Tamanrasset, including the highest peaks in Algeria. As the flight progresses north, it provides a superior panoramic view of the ancient, UNESCO-listed M'Zab Valley cities upon descent into Ghardaia.
The right side offers an unparalleled perspective of the M'zab Valley's UNESCO-listed architecture and the lush Mitidja plains during departure.
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the vast Sebkha d'Oran salt lake immediately after takeoff and the best angle for the UNESCO-listed architecture of the M'Zab Valley on approach.
While both sides offer stunning views of the Saharan transition, the Right Side is preferred for its better perspective of the High Plateaus and the spectacular approach into the M'Zab Valley's unique urban layout.
