FEZ → CMN
Which side of the plane to sit from Saïss Airport (Fes) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of Morocco's diverse landscape, the Right Side is preferred for its potential views of the Imperial city of Meknes and the spectacular coastal approach into Casablanca, often featuring the iconic Hassan II Mosque.
Volubilis & Moulay Idriss
The ancient Roman ruins and the holy hilltop town of Zerhoun visible in the distance north of the flight path.
Meknes Skyline
The massive walls and minarets of the second Imperial City on the route, situated in the fertile Sais plain.
Atlantic Coastline
The beautiful contrast where the blue Atlantic meets the golden Moroccan beaches as the plane descends.
Hassan II Mosque
The towering minaret of one of the world's largest mosques, standing on a platform over the ocean during the CMN approach.
Casablanca Urban Sprawl
The dense white architecture of Morocco's economic heart unfolding as you prepare for landing.
The Right Side is unbeatable for afternoon flights as the sun sets over the Atlantic. During the descent into CMN, look forward to spot the Hassan II Mosque minaret—it is often the most prominent landmark on the horizon.
Fes el Bali
Aerial view of the ancient medieval medina, a dense labyrinth and UNESCO World Heritage site shortly after takeoff.
Middle Atlas Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of the Middle Atlas range visible to the south during the initial cruise phase.
Ifrane National Park
Dense cedar forests and the alpine-style landscape surrounding the 'Little Switzerland' of Morocco.
Dayet Aoua
A glimmering natural mountain lake surrounded by poplars and willows in the Atlas foothills.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the Middle Atlas peaks. Keep an eye out for the red-tinted earth typical of the Moroccan interior early in the flight.
