Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Hassan I Airport (El Aaiún)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular and continuous views of the Atlantic coastline, where the turquoise waters meet the dramatic Saharan dunes and rugged cliffs.
Search flights from CMN to EUN
Atlantic Coastline
Constant views of the dramatic meeting point between the deep blue ocean and the golden Saharan sands.
Agadir Bay
A clear view of Agadir’s crescent-shaped beach, the marina, and the Oufella ruins on the hill.
Khenifiss National Park
A stunning lagoon ecosystem with turquoise waters and salt flats near the town of Akhfenir.
Tarfaya (Cape Juby)
The historic coastal town where Saint-Exupéry lived, visible just before the final descent into El Aaiún.
White Beach (Plage Blanche)
A massive stretch of untouched white sand dunes that roll directly into the Atlantic waves.
The right side (Seats F/K) is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best photography, choose a late morning flight when the sun is high to capture the turquoise water colors. On late afternoon flights, be prepared for intense sun and glare, though the sunset over the Atlantic is often magnificent.

Saharan Plateaus
Vast stretches of the Hamada desert with intricate geological patterns and wind-swept rocky terrain.
Anti-Atlas Mountains
Distant views of the jagged southern Moroccan mountain ranges as you head south from Casablanca.
Guelmim Gateway
Aerial perspective of the traditional 'Gateway to the Sahara,' showing desert outskirts and palm groves.
Oued Draa Basin
The winding path of Morocco's longest river valley, often appearing as a dry, carved ribbon through the desert.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for observing the 'reg' (stony desert) landscape and the deep canyons formed by seasonal riverbeds. If you fly during the early morning, the rising sun illuminates the desert textures beautifully.
