DLA â CMN
Which side of the plane to sit from Douala International Airport (Douala) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for Mount Cameroon at departure and the magnificent snow-capped High Atlas Mountains during the descent into Morocco.
Mount Cameroon
One of Africa's largest volcanoes, visible shortly after takeoff from Douala if the skies are clear.
Jos Plateau
The rugged, elevated granite landscapes of central Nigeria providing a break from the tropical plains.
TÊnÊrÊ Desert Vistas
Endless expanses of the central Sahara, featuring rocky outcrops and vast prehistoric riverbeds.
High Atlas Mountains
The dramatic, often snow-dusted peaks of Morocco, including Mount Toubkal, as you approach the north.
Berber Valleys
Intricately terraced agricultural valleys and traditional red-clay villages scattered across the Moroccan interior.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Cameroon early in the flight. During winter months, the Atlas Mountains are covered in snow, making the descent into Casablanca particularly scenic. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the desert colors on this side.
Gulf of Guinea Coastline
Aerial views of the West African coastline and the transition from lush tropical forests to the sea.
Niger River Delta
The complex network of waterways and dense greenery of the southern Nigerian river systems.
Erg Chech Dune Fields
Massive, shifting longitudinal sand dunes of the western Sahara Desert in Mali and Mauritania.
Atlantic Sunset
On evening flights, the sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean, creating deep orange and purple horizons.
Casablanca Coast
The sparkling Atlantic coastline as the aircraft turns toward Mohammed V International Airport.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight for most of the journey while catching a potentially stunning sunset over the Atlantic. This side is also better for viewing the coastal periphery of the Sahara's western edge.
