Which side of the plane to sit from Maya-Maya Airport (Brazzaville) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse palette of African geography, transitioning from the deep green of the Congo Basin to the dramatic peaks of the High Atlas and the vibrant red sands of the inner Sahara.
Congo Basin
A vast, unbroken canopy of tropical rainforest crisscrossed by winding, sediment-rich rivers.
Mount Cameroon
The highest peak in West Africa, a massive volcanic massif that often rises above the cloud layer.
Grand Erg Dunes
Spectacular orange and gold sand dunes of the interior Sahara, showing complex wind-swept patterns.
High Atlas Mountains
Snow-capped peaks (in winter/spring) providing a stark contrast to the surrounding arid plains of Morocco.
Marrakech Plains
The iconic red-earth landscapes and ancient irrigation patterns surrounding the interior cities.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the desert shadows define the dune shapes. Keep an eye out for the High Atlas range approximately 30-40 minutes before landing; the contrast between the green valleys and rocky peaks is breathtaking.
Gulf of Guinea Coast
Aerial views of the West African coastline where the tropical forest meets the Atlantic surf.
Banc d'Arguin
The transition point where the Mauritanian desert sands spill directly into the turquoise ocean waters.
Casablanca Approach
Dramatic views of the Hassan II Mosque and the white city skyline as the plane aligns for landing.
Western Sahara
Expansive views of the coastal desert plains and occasional salt flats reflecting the sun.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for observing the coastal geography and the spectacular final approach over the Atlantic toward Mohammed V International.
