EUN β CMN
Which side of the plane to sit from Hassan I Airport (El AaiΓΊn) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a diverse and visually captivating journey, transitioning from the rolling orange dunes of the Sahara to the rugged peaks of the Anti-Atlas and the fertile plains of central Morocco.
Sahara Sand Seas
Incredible views of the erg systems and wind-formed dune patterns characteristic of the Western Sahara region.
Anti-Atlas Mountains
Fly over the ancient, weathered mountain ranges featuring deep canyons and unique geological folds.
Souss Valley
A lush green agricultural contrast to the surrounding arid terrain, known for its argan and citrus groves.
Tiznit
The distinct walled city, famous for its silver jewelry, is visible as a geometric pattern on the desert floor.
High Atlas Vistas
Distant, often snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas range, including the Toubkal massif, can be seen to the northeast.
Chaouia Plains
The landscape transforms into a patchwork of green and gold agricultural fields as you approach Casablanca.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the dunes and mountains in high relief due to the low sun angle. This side provides the most 'African' landscape experience, showing the transition between climate zones. Look for the stark line where the desert turns into mountain rock near Guelmim.
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the dramatic meeting point where the desert sands and rocky cliffs reach the ocean.
Canary Islands
On exceptionally clear days, the distant silhouettes of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote may be visible on the western horizon.
Agadir Bay
A panoramic view of the crescent-shaped beach, the marina, and the historic Agadir Oufella ruins.
Essaouira Coast
The historic white-walled 'Wind City' of Africa can be spotted along the shoreline as you head north.
The left side is most spectacular during sunset flights when the sun reflects off the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the side to choose if you enjoy watching the shoreline erosion patterns and the contrast of blue water against desert beige.
