Which side of the plane to sit from Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (Nimes) to Saïss Airport (Fes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the French and Spanish coastlines, the snow-capped Pyrenees, the urban layout of Barcelona, and the rugged Sierra Nevada before the final approach into Fes.
Camargue Wetlands
The salt pans and unique marshlands of the Rhone delta immediately after departure from Nîmes.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the eastern edge of the Pyrenees, including the iconic Le Canigou peak near the border.
Barcelona Skyline
Excellent views of the Sagrada Família, the Eixample grid, and the busy port area of the Catalan capital.
Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest peaks, often snow-covered until early summer, rising sharply behind the Andalusian coast.
Fes el Bali
As you descend, catch a glimpse of the world's largest car-free urban area, the ancient walled medina of Fes.
The right side is the 'land side' for most of the flight. For the best photography of the Sierra Nevada and the Spanish coast, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Ensure you are not directly over the wing to see the Pyrenees clearly.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the Alboran Sea where the water meets the sky in a deep azure hue.
Balearic Distance
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Mallorca and Ibiza may be visible on the horizon.
Eastern Rif Range
The dramatic, jagged peaks of the Moroccan Rif mountains as the flight enters North African airspace.
Saïss Plain
The fertile agricultural valleys surrounding Fes, transitioning from green to ochre colors.
Sit on the left for a sunrise flight to see the dawn light reflecting off the Mediterranean. It is generally quieter visually but provides a great sense of the distance crossed between continents.
