AGP → CMN
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the Rock of Gibraltar and a continuous panoramic view of the Moroccan Atlantic coastline including the capital city, Rabat.
Costa del Sol
Golden beaches and luxury resorts of Marbella and Estepona visible shortly after takeoff.
Rock of Gibraltar
The iconic 426-meter high limestone monolith standing guard at the entrance to the Mediterranean.
Tangier
The white-washed gateway city of Africa where the Mediterranean and Atlantic waters meet.
Atlantic Coastline
The dramatic meeting of the blue Atlantic Ocean and the sandy shores of northwestern Morocco.
Rabat
The Moroccan capital city, clearly visible with the Bou Regreg river and the Hassan Tower landmark.
Secure a window seat on the right for the best view of Gibraltar, which usually appears 10-15 minutes into the flight. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Moroccan coast. As the plane descends into CMN, watch for the massive Hassan II Mosque on the Casablanca shoreline if the approach path allows.
Málaga Bay
Aerial view of the city of Málaga and its sprawling beaches immediately after departure from AGP.
Alboran Sea
The westernmost portion of the Mediterranean Sea, often dotted with cargo ships entering the Strait.
Rif Mountains
The rugged and verdant mountain range of northern Morocco, known for its deep valleys and limestone peaks.
Gharb Plain
Vast agricultural landscapes and fertile plains that define the northern Moroccan interior.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the Atlantic. Look for the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the African coast shortly after crossing the water. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Meknes in the far distance during mid-flight.
