Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the Northern Mediterranean, featuring iconic islands like Cyprus and Crete, and the dramatic crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar before landing at Casablanca.
Cyprus
A stunning view of the island's southern coast and the Troodos Mountains shortly after takeoff.
Crete & Greek Isles
The mountainous silhouettes of Crete and the Dodecanese islands dotting the northern horizon.
Central Med Islands
Distant glimpses of Malta and the southern tip of Sicily on clear weather days.
Costa del Sol
The sparkling resorts and beaches of southern Spain visible across the narrow Alboran Sea.
Rock of Gibraltar
The iconic limestone monolith marking the narrow gateway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
The right side is ideal for capturing the Mediterranean's architectural and natural jewels. You will see Cyprus very early in the flight. On clear days, look for the snow-capped Sierra Nevada in Spain as you approach the Strait of Gibraltar. This side also offers softer, indirect lighting for photography on westbound afternoon flights.
Levantine Horizon
The deep turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea immediately after departing Beirut's coast.
North African Littoral
The vast, golden aridity of the Libyan and Algerian coastline visible along the southern flight path.
Gulf of Tunis
Panoramic views of the Tunisian peninsula and the historic site of ancient Carthage.
Atlas Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped High Atlas range providing a majestic backdrop during the descent into Morocco.
Casablanca Urban Sprawl
The sprawling white architecture and industrial hubs of Casablanca's landside districts before touchdown.
Sit on the left to witness the vastness of the North African coastline. For daytime flights, be prepared for intense sunlight coming from the south; keep your window shade partially down to manage glare. Watch closely during the final 45 minutes for the dramatic transition from the Sahara's edge to the green valleys of Morocco.
