Which side of the plane to sit from Kotoka International Airport (Accra) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the vast Sahara, the right side is superior due to the spectacular crossing of the High Atlas Mountains and a better chance to spot the 'Eye of the Sahara' geological formation.
The Empty Quarter
Massive sand dunes and shifting ergs of the Mauritanian desert interior.
Eye of the Sahara
The Richat Structure, a massive 40km-wide circular geological feature visible from high altitude.
High Atlas Mountains
The dramatic, jagged peaks of Morocco's primary mountain range, often covered in snow.
Anti-Atlas Range
Ancient, rugged volcanic landscapes that mark the southern entry into Moroccan territory.
Tadla Plain
Fertile agricultural checkerboards that signal the transition from desert to Mediterranean climate.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Saharan dunes. Watch for the Richat Structure roughly two hours into the flight. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to fully appreciate the Atlas mountain ridges.
Gulf of Guinea
Aerial views of the Ghanaian coast and the Atlantic as the aircraft climbs out of Accra.
Coastal Sahara
The dramatic visual of the desert's yellow sands meeting the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean along the Mauritanian coast.
Dakhla Peninsula
A striking view of the narrow sand spit and its turquoise lagoon in Western Sahara.
Port of Casablanca
Vibrant maritime traffic and industrial docks visible during the descent into CMN.
Hassan II Mosque
If approaching from the north, catch a glimpse of the world's second-tallest minaret standing on the ocean's edge.
Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic. During the approach to Casablanca, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white architecture of the city contrasting against the ocean.
