Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a continuous panorama of the African coastline where the vast Sahara Desert meets the Atlantic Ocean, followed by the rugged peaks of the Anti-Atlas mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Nouakchott

The capital of Mauritania appears as a dense grid nestled between the sand dunes and the sea.

🏜️

Sahara Dunes

Breathtaking views of the Erg landscapes and massive golden sand dunes stretching inland.

💦

Banc d'Arguin

A UNESCO site featuring a maze of sandbanks, channels, and shallow lagoons.

📍

Dakhla Peninsula

The iconic narrow strip of land in Western Sahara creating a massive protected lagoon.

⛰️

Anti-Atlas Mountains

As you enter Moroccan airspace, the terrain shifts to rugged, ancient rock formations.

🏖️

Agadir Bay

The crescent-shaped coastline and bustling resort city are often visible before the final descent.

This is the premier side for this route. Sit in front of or well behind the wing for the best views of the coastline. For the most vibrant desert colors, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the dunes from the east. Ensure your window is clean, as the Sahara dust can sometimes create a light haze at high altitudes.

Left Side Highlights
5.5
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Infinite views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the curvature of the Earth.

🏝️

Canary Islands

On very clear days or western-skewed routes, distant views of Fuerteventura or Gran Canaria may be visible.

🌅

Oceanic Sunset

Stunning unobstructed light displays if flying during the late afternoon or early evening.

🚢

Shipping Lanes

Occasional sightings of large cargo vessels and tankers navigating the West African trade routes.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. It is also the side for sunset lovers on late afternoon departures. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from deep sea blue to the shallow turquoise waters of the continental shelf.
