CMN β OUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Angads Airport (Oujda)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse and dramatic landscape transition, featuring the agricultural Saiss plain, the sprawling imperial city of Fez, and the rugged foothills of the Middle Atlas mountains.
Saiss Plain
A vast patchwork of olive groves and wheat fields that characterizes the region near Fez.
Imperial Fez
The dense, ancient medina and the modern Ville Nouvelle visible mid-flight.
Middle Atlas Mountains
Striking views of the cedar-covered ridges and occasionally snow-capped peaks to the south.
The Taza Gap
The strategic mountain pass that serves as the gateway between western and eastern Morocco.
Moulouya River Valley
The winding river carving through the arid, reddish landscape of the eastern plateau.
Oriental Plateau
The vast, high-altitude steppes that lead toward the border regions near the destination.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm light hitting the Atlas mountains. The highlight is approximately 25-30 minutes into the flight when passing over the city of Fez. During winter, look for snow on the high peaks of the Middle Atlas range.
Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the Atlantic surf and the Casablanca shoreline immediately after takeoff.
Rabat & SalΓ©
The administrative capital and the Bou Regreg river valley visible shortly into the climb.
Gharb Plain
The fertile green agricultural heartland of northern Morocco stretching towards the horizon.
The Rif Range
The jagged peaks of the northern mountain range bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
Oujda Approach
The urban layout of Oujda and the nearby Algerian border as the plane banks for landing.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers the best chance to see the Mediterranean horizon on clear days. Look out for the distinctive white architecture of the coastal cities early in the flight.
