Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior journey through Earth's most dramatic arid landscapes, including a clear view of the Nile's green artery and the rugged peaks of the High Atlas Mountains on approach.
Arabian Sands
The vast, undulating dunes of the Saudi Arabian interior after departing the Gulf.
Gulf of Aqaba
Deep blue waters contrasting against the red granite mountains of the Sinai Peninsula.
The Nile Valley
The striking green strip of the Nile River cutting through the Egyptian desert landscape.
Giza Plateaus
Potential views of the Great Pyramids if the flight path tracks slightly south of Cairo.
High Atlas Range
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and Berber villages as you cross into Moroccan airspace.
Casablanca Suburbs
The sprawling white architecture of Morocco's economic heart during the final descent.
For the best experience, choose a daytime flight. The left side is susceptible to glare during westbound afternoon flights, so keep your window shade partially down until over the Nile. Look out approximately 3 hours in for the Cairo transit and 7 hours in for the Atlas Mountains.
Doha Skyline
A stunning view of the West Bay skyscrapers and The Pearl shortly after takeoff.
Mediterranean Coast
Aerial views of the Egyptian and Libyan coastlines where the desert meets the sea.
Alexandria
The historic Egyptian port city and its distinctive circular harbor layout.
Tunisian Capes
The northernmost points of Africa and the busy maritime traffic of the Mediterranean.
Atlantic Horizon
The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean appearing as the plane aligns for CMN airport.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer coastal scenery and the Doha skyline at departure. It avoids direct sunlight for the majority of the westbound journey, making it better for photography. Watch for the Mediterranean shoreline roughly mid-flight.
