Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dramatic snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains followed by a transition into the mesmerizing, undulating sand dunes and vast salt pans of the Sahara Desert.
High Atlas Mountains
Breathtaking views of Morocco's highest peaks, often capped with snow during winter and spring.
Sahara Oases
Visual patterns of green palm groves of the Tafilalt region contrasting sharply with the surrounding red earth.
Grand Erg Occidental
Massive, golden sand dune seas in Algeria that create intricate geometric patterns from high altitude.
Chott el Djerid
The shimmering salt pans of Southern Tunisia, which appear as a vast white or purple-tinted expanse.
Libyan Plateau
The stark, rocky beauty of the Western Libyan desert as the flight descends toward Tripoli.
The right side is essential for photography enthusiasts wanting to capture the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara. Mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun's angle creates long shadows, highlighting the textures of the sand dunes. Be aware that desert haze can occasionally reduce visibility during the summer months.
Atlantic Coastline
Panoramic views of the Moroccan coast and the urban sprawl of Rabat shortly after takeoff.
Middle Atlas Foothills
The northern slopes of the Atlas range, showing a mix of rugged terrain and sparse greenery.
Gulf of Gabes
Aerial views of the deep blue Mediterranean waters off the coast of Tunisia as the plane nears the Libyan border.
Tripoli Waterfront
A beautiful view of the Tripoli skyline and the harbor during the final descent and approach.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be positioned to the south. This side provides better views of the Mediterranean coastline as you approach Tripoli, making it ideal for those who prefer sea vistas over desert landscapes.
