Which side of the plane to sit from Al Massira Airport (Agadir) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of the Moroccan coastline, including the transition from the fertile Souss valley to the arid Sahara edges, followed by views of Fuerteventura during the Atlantic crossing.
Souss-Massa National Park
Bird's-eye view of the estuary and wetlands where the Souss River meets the Atlantic.
Anti-Atlas Range
Dramatic silhouettes of the arid mountain peaks to the southeast during the initial climb.
Sidi Ifni Coastline
Striking contrast between the red Saharan sands and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
Fuerteventura Island
Clear views of the neighboring Canary Island's mountainous terrain mid-flight.
Maspalomas Dunes
Golden sand dunes of southern Gran Canaria visible if the plane circles for a southern approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the ocean. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the red cliffs of the Moroccan coast. If landing from the south, this side provides a glimpse of the famous dunes.
Agadir Oufella
The historic hilltop fortress and the modern marina visible immediately after takeoff.
Taghazout Bay
Views of Morocco's premier surfing coastline and its crescent-shaped beaches.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Spot large cargo vessels and tankers navigating the waters between Africa and the Canaries.
Las Palmas City
Extensive views of the capital's urban sprawl and the Port of Las Palmas on approach.
La Isleta Peninsula
The distinct volcanic landscape forming the northernmost tip of Gran Canaria.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to have the sun behind you. This side is superior for viewing the city of Las Palmas and the volcanic craters of northern Gran Canaria as the plane aligns with the runway at Gando Airport.
