Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Atlas mountain ranges and the varied inland landscapes of Algeria and Morocco.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Tell Atlas

The rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Tell Atlas range parallel to the Algerian coast.

🏙️

Oran Views

A distant look at the historic coastal city of Oran and its iconic harbor.

⛰️

Middle Atlas Mountains

Lush, often snow-capped peaks as the flight crosses into Moroccan territory.

🏜️

Moroccan Steppe

The transition from the green mountains to the arid, high plateaus near the border.

🚜

Tadla Plain

Vibrant green agricultural grids that define the fertile heartland of central Morocco.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the best lighting on the Atlas ranges. In winter, look for significant snow cover on the Middle Atlas. This side provides a better sense of North Africa's vast topographical diversity.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Mediterranean Coast

The stunning turquoise waters and rocky inlets of the Algerian coastline near Tipaza.

🚢

Alboran Sea

Vast blue expanses with visible shipping lanes leading toward the Mediterranean mouth.

🗻

Rif Mountains

The dramatic northern Moroccan mountain range visible to the north as you head west.

🐚

Atlantic Transition

The point where the Mediterranean landscapes give way to the cooling influence of the Atlantic.

✈️

Casablanca Approach

Sweeping views of the Atlantic coastline and the outskirts of Morocco's commercial capital.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to minimize sun glare while viewing the coast. On exceptionally clear days, you may catch a distant glimpse of the Strait of Gibraltar to the far north during the mid-flight segment.
