Search flights from CIA to RAK
Balearic Islands
Stunning aerial views of Mallorca and Ibiza surrounded by the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Spanish Coastline
Visible stretches of the Costa del Sol near Almeria or Malaga depending on the specific flight path.
Alboran Sea
The narrow maritime passage marking the transition between the European and African continents.
Casablanca Coast
Glimpse the Atlantic shoreline and the urban sprawl of Morocco's largest coastal city on the horizon.
High Atlas Peaks
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Oukaïmeden and Toubkal peaks during the final descent into Marrakech.
Choose this side for mid-day or late afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. The descent into Marrakech often involves a sweeping turn that showcases the High Atlas Mountains perfectly; seasonal snow on these peaks is most dramatic between November and April.
