EUNAGA

Which side of the plane to sit from Hassan I Airport (El Aaiún) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning vantage point of the Atlantic coastline, where the Sahara's golden sands meet the deep blue ocean. It provides the best views of the iconic red cliffs and the coastal transition into the Souss-Massa region.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Saharan-Atlantic Interface

Dramatic views of the Sahara Desert dunes meeting the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

🚢

Tarfaya (Cape Juby)

The historic coastal town once served as a vital refueling stop for the Aéropostale airmail service.

🏖️

White Beach (Plage Blanche)

Stretches of untouched white sand dunes that contrast sharply with the rocky desert interior.

🏛️

Sidi Ifni

The art deco architecture of this former Spanish enclave is visible along the rugged cliffside.

⛱️

Legzira Arches

Faint but visible sightings of the massive natural red sandstone arches on the shoreline.

Select a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for morning flights to avoid sun glare. The early light illuminates the surf line against the desert dunes perfectly. During the descent into Agadir, this side provides the best view of the Souss-Massa National Park coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
📉

Sabkha Tah

The lowest point in Morocco, a massive salt flat depression sitting 55 meters below sea level.

🏜️

Erg Landscapes

Expansive views of the Hamada (rocky desert) and shifting sand dunes of the interior Sahara.

🌬️

Sahara Wind Farms

Massive arrays of wind turbines near Tarfaya harvesting the constant Atlantic trade winds.

⛰️

Anti-Atlas Foothills

As you approach Agadir, the terrain rises into the ancient, rugged peaks of the Anti-Atlas range.

🚜

Souss Valley Greenery

The abrupt transition from desert to the fertile, irrigated agricultural lands near Agadir.

Sit on the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' glow on the desert floor. This side is particularly interesting shortly after takeoff for geological features like the Tah depression and later for the mountain ridges near Agadir.
