Which side of the plane to sit from Mogador Airport (Essadouira) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Spanish Sierra Nevada, the iconic Rock of Gibraltar, and the sweeping Mediterranean coastline as you approach France.
Rif Mountains
The verdant and rugged mountain range of northern Morocco providing a scenic backdrop before crossing into Europe.
Rock of Gibraltar
The famous limestone monolith marks the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and a key navigational landmark.
Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest peaks, often capped with snow, visible while flying over the region of Andalusia.
Costa Blanca
The stunning turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline.
Balearic Horizon
On clear days, catch a glimpse of the Balearic Islands (Ibiza and Mallorca) across the Mediterranean blue.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the best views of Gibraltar and the Spanish Sierras.
Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the Moroccan coast and the crashing waves of the Atlantic immediately after takeoff from Essaouira.
Casablanca & Rabat
Bird's-eye views of Morocco's major urban centers along the Atlantic shore, including the massive Hassan II Mosque.
Gibraltar Strait
Observe the narrow passage where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea between the two continents.
Meseta Central
The rugged, arid landscape of Spain's high central plateau as the aircraft transits the Iberian Peninsula.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt marshes, lagoons, and diverse bird habitats of the Rhone river delta just before landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for viewing the specific urban layout of Casablanca and the transition from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
