Canary Islands
Distant volcanic silhouettes of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote rising from the Atlantic horizon.
Dakhla Peninsula
The thin, sandy strip of land separating the Dakhla lagoon from the crashing Atlantic waves.
Banc d'Arguin
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring stunning shallow turquoise waters, sandbanks, and rich marine biodiversity.
Cap Vert Peninsula
The westernmost point of mainland Africa, showcasing the dense urban landscape of Dakar jutting into the sea.
Bijagós Archipelago
A spectacular aerial view of 88 islands and mangroves that define the coastal beauty of Guinea-Bissau.
The right side is the definitive choice for scenery enthusiasts. Aim for an afternoon flight to catch the 'Golden Hour' light reflecting off the Saharan sandbanks of Banc d'Arguin. As the plane descends into Bissau, ensure your window is clear for the complex maze of islands in the Bijagós Archipelago, which is one of the most unique coastal views in Africa.

Anti-Atlas Mountains
The rugged, ancient rock formations of southern Morocco visible shortly after takeoff from Casablanca.
Sahara Interior
A vast, mesmerizing expanse of the Erg Chech and the deep interior desert dunes of the Western Sahara.
Nouakchott View
The expanding capital of Mauritania where the grid-like city layout contrasts sharply with the surrounding desert.
Senegal River Basin
The sudden transition from arid desert to the lush, green floodplains of the Senegal River valley.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the ocean. This side is better for observing the geological shifts from mountainous terrain to the flat Sahelian savannah. Keep an eye out for the massive iron ore train tracks near the Mauritanian border.
