Which side of the plane to sit from Cairo International Airport (Cairo) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, the verdant Nile Delta, and the vibrant coastal cities of North Africa.
Nile Delta
The stark contrast between the lush green delta and the surrounding golden desert upon departure.
Tripoli & Algiers
Clear views of these historic Mediterranean capitals hugging the coastline.
Gulf of Sirte
The sweeping curve of the Libyan coast against the deep blue Mediterranean waters.
Casablanca Port
The massive industrial port and the Hassan II Mosque standing prominently by the Atlantic.
The right side is ideal for daytime flights to maximize the vibrant contrast between the turquoise sea and land. Watch for the Hassan II Mosque on the right side during the final approach into CMN for a spectacular view of its minaret against the ocean.
Great Sand Sea
Witness the massive, rolling orange dunes of the Sahara stretching to the horizon.
Salt Lakes
Glittering crystalline formations of the Tunisian salt flats near the Algerian border.
High Atlas Peaks
The dramatic, rugged mountain range of Morocco appearing as you descend toward Casablanca.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to experience the 'Golden Hour' over the Sahara. Use a polarized filter on your camera to cut through the desert haze and capture the intricate patterns of the dunes.
