Our Recommendation
8.7

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏜️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

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.
