Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a continuous panorama of the Moroccan coastline, featuring historic port towns and the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, followed by a stunning aerial view of the eastern Canary Islands.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🕌

Hassan II Mosque

Visible shortly after takeoff from CMN, the world's tallest minaret stands prominently on the Casablanca shoreline.

🏖️

Essaouira Coastline

The historic 'Wind City' is easily identifiable by its white-washed medina and the Mogador island just offshore.

🏔️

High Atlas Views

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas range are visible deep inland against the Moroccan horizon.

🌊

Agadir Bay

A sweeping view of the crescent-shaped bay and the ruins of the Oufella Agadir fortress on the hill.

🏝️

Fuerteventura

As you approach the archipelago, the arid, volcanic landscapes and turquoise shores of Fuerteventura appear to the south.

Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Moroccan coast perfectly. This side is also superior for spotting the desert-meets-ocean geography near the Sahara border. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best views of the neighboring islands.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
🌊

Deep Atlantic Blue

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the whitecaps created by the strong trade winds.

🌋

Pico del Teide

Spain's highest peak on neighboring Tenerife is often visible as a massive silhouette above the clouds during descent.

🏙️

Las Palmas Cityscape

During a standard approach to Runway 03, the right side provides a close view of the capital city and its busy port.

⛰️

Gran Canaria Highlands

View of the rugged, green northern mountains and deep ravines as the plane maneuvers for its final approach.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Atlantic on evening flights. While there is less land to see during the cruise, the final 10 minutes of the flight offer spectacular views of Gran Canaria's northern coastline and the dramatic volcanic terrain of the island's interior.
