Jbel Toubkal
Look west to spot the highest peak in North Africa standing prominently above the surrounding ridges.
Tizi n'Tichka Pass
The famous winding road snaking through the mountains is clearly visible from the air.
Ait Benhaddou
The iconic ancient ksar (fortified village) can be spotted nestled against the red hills just before landing.
El Mansour Eddahbi
The shimmering blue waters of the massive reservoir provide a stunning contrast to the desert landscape.
Atlas Film Studios
Massive outdoor movie sets, including Egyptian temples and medieval walls, are visible on the outskirts of Ouarzazate.
The right side is essential for photographers wanting to capture the contrast between the mountain peaks and the desert floor. During the descent into OZZ, keep your camera ready for the reservoir and the clay architecture of the local kasbahs which are most prominent on this side.
