Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the dramatic meeting of the Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara Desert, including the Strait of Gibraltar and the westernmost tip of the African continent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Strait of Gibraltar

The iconic crossing point where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean between Spain and Morocco.

🏖️

Western Sahara Coast

Incredible turquoise lagoons and white sand dunes crashing directly into the deep blue Atlantic.

🏝️

Canary Islands Vista

On clear days, the volcanic peaks of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are visible on the horizon.

🌍

Cap Vert Peninsula

The westernmost point of the African continent and the sprawling coastal city of Dakar, Senegal.

🚢

Banjul River Mouth

The wide, shimmering estuary of the Gambia River as the plane begins its final approach.

For afternoon flights, the right side provides stunning sunset views over the Atlantic. Watch for the Dakhla Peninsula in Western Sahara; it is one of the most unique geographic sights from the air.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Atlas Mountains

Dramatic views of the snow-capped High Atlas peaks while traversing central Morocco.

🏜️

Grand Erg Occidental

The vast, undulating sand dunes of the interior Sahara Desert in eastern Mauritania.

🏙️

Marrakech Outskirts

The 'Red City' and its palm groves visible against the backdrop of the mountains.

🌿

Senegal River Basin

The winding river marking the fertile transition from the arid Sahara to West African savannah.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is superior for geological enthusiasts interested in the rugged tectonic formations of the Atlas range and the deep desert interior.
