Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more diverse landscape, featuring the Mediterranean coastline, the vibrant Nile Delta, and a panoramic view of the Doha skyline upon arrival.
Middle Atlas Mountains
Stunning views of the rugged Moroccan mountain range shortly after departure from Casablanca.
Mediterranean Coast
A continuous view of the North African shoreline and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Nile Delta
The sharp transition from desert to the lush, green agricultural heart of Egypt.
Suez Canal
Spot the line of cargo ships transiting one of the world's most vital maritime passages.
Doha Skyline
Excellent views of The Pearl-Qatar and West Bay skyscrapers during the final approach.
Opt for a morning departure to see the Atlas Mountains in daylight. On night flights, the left side offers a spectacular display of urban lights along the Mediterranean coast and Cairo. For the best landing views in Doha, the left side is generally preferred for the city skyline.
Great Saharan Ergs
Witness the vast, undulating sand dunes of the Algerian and Libyan Sahara.
Cairo & Pyramids
Distant views of the sprawling Egyptian capital; on a clear day, the Giza plateau may be visible.
Red Sea Reefs
The turquoise waters and coral structures along the Egyptian and Saudi Arabian coasts.
Arabian Desert
The stark, beautiful landscapes of the Saudi interior featuring volcanic fields and sand plains.
Lusail Stadium
Look for the iconic gold-cladded stadium as the aircraft enters Qatari airspace.
The right side is perfect for capturing the golden hour over the Sahara. During the Red Sea crossing, the contrast between the deep blue water and the desert is most vivid on this side. If landing from the south, you might see the Al Wakrah stadium and the southern Qatari coastline.
