JED → CMN
Which side of the plane to sit from King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior variety of landscapes, including the lush Nile Delta, the sweeping Mediterranean coastline, and the northern slopes of the Atlas Mountains, finishing with a beautiful approach toward the Atlantic horizon.
Nile Delta
The massive, triangular expanse of greenery where the Nile meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Alexandria & Coast
Views of Egypt's historic port city and the bright turquoise Mediterranean shoreline.
North African Littoral
The beautiful contrast between the blue sea and the white architecture of coastal cities like Tripoli.
Tell Atlas Range
The greener, more Mediterranean-facing slopes of the Atlas Mountains in Algeria and Morocco.
Atlantic Approach
The vast Atlantic Ocean comes into view as the aircraft turns for its final descent into CMN.
Choosing the right side avoids direct sun glare when flying west. It provides the best views of the fertile coastal regions and the Mediterranean. For evening flights, you may catch a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic as you approach Casablanca. This side also offers better views of the Nile Delta's geometry.
Red Sea Crossing
Visible immediately after takeoff from Jeddah, showcasing deep blue waters and coral reefs.
Upper Nile River
The narrow ribbon of fertile green life cutting through the vast Egyptian desert landscape.
Great Sand Sea
Stunning views of endless rolling orange dunes across the Libyan and Algerian interior.
High Atlas Peaks
The highest mountains in North Africa, often snow-capped during the winter months.
This side is best for viewing the heart of the Sahara and the High Atlas. Since the flight travels westward, the sun will be on this side for much of the day; use a polarized filter for photos to combat glare. Watch for the dramatic mountain silhouettes about 45 minutes before arrival.
