Lisbon Skyline
Unmatched views of the Alfama district, São Jorge Castle, and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge shortly after takeoff from LIS.
Costa da Caparica
A long stretch of golden sand beaches extending south from the Tagus estuary into the Alentejo region.
Arrábida Natural Park
Dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters near Setúbal, where the mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean.
Alentejo & Algarve Coast
The rugged, less-developed coastline of southern Portugal, including the famous cliffs of Sagres if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Hassan II Mosque
During the descent into CMN, look for the world's tallest minaret standing directly on the Casablanca shoreline.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Portuguese coast. During the approach to Casablanca, keep your camera ready for the Hassan II Mosque, as the plane often banks over the ocean before landing, providing a perfect angle of the city's maritime facade.

As you cross the Atlantic towards Africa, you may spot the busy shipping lanes entering the Strait of Gibraltar to the east.
Rabat & Salé
Views of the Moroccan capital city and the Bou Regreg river as the flight enters Moroccan airspace from the north.
Chaouia Plains
The fertile green and ochre agricultural landscapes surrounding Casablanca, dotted with traditional Moroccan villages.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun setting over the Atlantic. While you miss the immediate Lisbon city center, you get a broader view of the Iberian Peninsula's southern interior and the transition into the African landscape.
