Search flights from EIN to RAK
Bay of Biscay
The dramatic meeting point of the French and Spanish Atlantic coasts known for its deep blue waters.
Portuguese Algarve
Golden cliffs and turquoise waters of the southern Portuguese coastline visible before the turn toward Africa.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic maritime gateway where Europe and Africa are separated by only 14 kilometers of water.
Casablanca Coastline
The striking white architecture of Casablanca and the massive minaret of the Hassan II Mosque on the water's edge.
Marrakech Palmeraie
The vast palm groves surrounding the city as the aircraft makes its final descent into Menara Airport.
Choose the right side for the best coastal photography. The highlight is the crossing from Europe to Africa; watch for the Rock of Gibraltar to the far left and the Moroccan coast appearing directly ahead. On the final approach into RAK, if the plane circles from the west, you will get a panoramic view of the High Atlas Mountains framing the city.

Central Pyrenees
The majestic mountain range forming the natural border between France and Spain, often capped with snow.
Madrid and the Meseta
Aerial views of the high central plateau of Spain and the distant sprawl of the capital city.
Rif Mountains
The verdant and rugged northern Moroccan mountain range visible shortly after crossing the Mediterranean.
Middle Atlas Range
Rolling hills and limestone plateaus that transition into the arid landscapes of central Morocco.
The left side is prime for mountain enthusiasts. Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes into the flight, keep a close eye out for the Pyrenees. For evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun, providing clearer visibility of the Spanish interior and the Rif Mountains during the initial Moroccan segment.
