Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic coastline, where the Sahara's golden dunes meet the deep blue ocean, and later, the tropical island chains of Guinea-Bissau.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Dakhla Peninsula

A striking white-sand spit stretching into the turquoise lagoon of Western Sahara.

🌊

Banc d'Arguin

A UNESCO World Heritage site in Mauritania known for its shallow waters, sandbanks, and rich biodiversity.

🏙️

Cap-Vert Peninsula

The westernmost point of the African continent and the sprawling coastal city of Dakar, Senegal.

🌴

Bissagos Archipelago

A stunning maze of 88 islands and islets off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, surrounded by mangrove forests.

🛶

Guinean Estuaries

The intricate network of rivers and mangroves that define the swampy coastal region of Guinea.

The Dakhla lagoon and Bissagos islands are the visual peaks of this route. For late afternoon flights, you will experience a dramatic sunset over the Atlantic Ocean just as the aircraft prepares for its final approach into Conakry.

Left Side Highlights

🏜️

Anti-Atlas Range

The rugged, ancient rock formations of southern Morocco, showing vibrant shades of red and purple.

🐪

Sahara Interior

Expansive views of the Adrar plateau in Mauritania, featuring vast stretches of rocky desert and sand dunes.

💧

Senegal River Border

The winding river marking the transition from the arid Sahara to the greener sub-Saharan landscape.

⛰️

Fouta Djallon

Mist-shrouded highlands and plateaus as the plane approaches the lush interior of Guinea.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is particularly rewarding during the descent into Conakry, where you can see the elevation changes and the dense greenery of the Guinean highlands.
