CMN β TNG
Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Ibn Batouta Airport (Tanger)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous and breathtaking view of the Atlantic coastline, coastal lagoons, and the iconic meeting point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean near the Strait of Gibraltar.
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the rugged Moroccan shoreline and white-sand beaches stretching north from Casablanca.
Rabat Waterfront
A clear view of the capital city's coastal edge where the Bou Regreg river meets the sea.
Merja Zerga Lagoon
The stunning blue waters of the lagoon at Moulay Bousselham, a key site for migratory birds.
Strait of Gibraltar
On the final approach, you can often see the narrow passage between Africa and Europe.
Port of Tangier
Views of the bustling maritime activity and the northern tip of the African continent as the plane descends.
Sit on the left for late afternoon flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic. This side is also superior for spotting the unique geography of the coastal lagoons. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for views of the Spanish coastline across the water on clear days.
Rabat & SalΓ©
Aerial perspective of the administrative capital, including views toward the Hassan Tower and Royal Palace.
Gharb Plain
The vast, green agricultural heartland of Northwest Morocco, dotted with small rural villages.
Rif Mountain Foothills
Distant views of the rising Rif mountain range to the East, providing a dramatic horizon.
Sebou River
The winding path of one of Morocco's largest rivers near the city of Kenitra.
CMN Departure
Views of the suburban sprawl of Casablanca and the transit infrastructure as you climb to altitude.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the ocean. It offers a better sense of Morocco's inland geography and the scale of the Gharb agricultural region. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Rif mountains in the distance.
