A spectacular view of the massive river snaking through the tropical rainforest shortly after takeoff.
Ahaggar Mountains
Dramatic volcanic plugs and high plateaus in the heart of the Algerian Sahara, including Mount Tahat.
TÊnÊrÊ Desert
The 'desert within a desert,' known for its incredible vastness and iconic flat horizons.
High Atlas Peaks
The towering, snow-dusted summits of Morocco, including Jbel Toubkal, visible before the descent.
Marrakesh Plains
The red-earthed Haouz plain stretching out from the base of the Atlas Mountains towards the north.

Erg Chech
A vast, desolate region of the Sahara known for its longitudinal sand dunes and shifting colors.
Anti-Atlas Range
The rugged, ancient mountain plateaus of southwestern Morocco that provide a textured lunar landscape.
Atlantic Horizon

Hassan II Mosque
On the final approach to CMN, look for the world's tallest minaret standing over the Atlantic waves.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic. This side is also preferred for the final descent into Casablanca to catch the city's coastal architecture and the iconic mosque if the approach path aligns with the coast.
