Which side of the plane to sit from Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport (Libreville) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the lush landscapes of Central Africa to the vast Saharan dunes and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.
Mount Cameroon
Visible shortly after takeoff from Libreville, this massive active volcano rises sharply from the coast.
Niger River Basin
The winding silver threads of the Niger River as it flows through the Sahelian landscapes of Mali and Niger.
Sahara Sand Seas
Incredible views of shifting orange sand dunes and ancient rock formations across Mauritania and Algeria.
High Atlas Mountains
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks that serve as the final major landmark before descending into Casablanca.
Moroccan Plateaus
The intricate mosaic of red-earth farms and traditional villages as the plane approaches the Atlantic plains.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun while capturing the long shadows of the Saharan dunes. Keep a close eye on the window during the first hour for a glimpse of Mount Cameroon and during the final 45 minutes for the Atlas range.
Gulf of Guinea
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic and the curving West African coastline shortly after departure.
Coastal Capitals
Distant views of major coastal hubs like Abidjan and Monrovia depending on the specific flight corridor.
Cap-Vert Peninsula
The westernmost point of the African continent near Dakar, visible during more westerly flight paths.
Western Sahara Coast
The striking contrast where the white sands of the desert meet the turquoise waters of the Atlantic.
The left side is most rewarding during late afternoon flights, offering spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. It is generally calmer visually but provides a sense of the continent's massive scale relative to the sea.
