๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Swiss Alps

Glittering snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys visible as the flight heads south through European airspace.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Balearic Sea Islands

Clear views of the Mediterranean coastline and occasionally the islands of Mallorca or Menorca in the distance.

๐ŸŒŠ

Alboran Sea

The deep azure waters of the western Mediterranean as the aircraft prepares for its African descent.

๐Ÿ’ง

Mar Chica

The iconic salt-water lagoon of Nador, providing a unique emerald and blue landscape just before landing.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Rif Mountains

The rugged, dramatic limestone ridges of northern Morocco rising up to meet the coastline.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides the best angle for photographing the Mar Chica lagoon, which is the most distinctive geographic feature near Nador International Airport. Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine glaciers.

Right Side Highlights

Melilla Enclave

The unique Spanish autonomous city bordering Nador, visible as the plane maneuvers for its final approach.

๐ŸŒ…

Iberian Horizon

Beautiful silhouettes of the Spanish mainland, especially during evening flights as the sun sets over the peninsula.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights, offering spectacular sunset views over the Spanish coast. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you can spot the distant peaks of the Pyrenees. Keep your camera ready as you approach the coast to capture the distinct border between Melilla and Nador.
