Search flights from LIS to DKR
Cabo Espichel
A dramatic cliff-top cape south of Lisbon featuring a lonely lighthouse and historic sanctuary.
Mount Teide
The massive volcanic peak of Tenerife, often rising above the cloud layer as a prominent landmark.
Gran Canaria
Aerial views of the rugged volcanic interior and the famous Maspalomas dunes on the island's southern tip.
Cap-Vert Peninsula
The westernmost point of mainland Africa, providing a spectacular panorama of Dakar's coastline during descent.
Gorée Island
The historic island visible in the Atlantic waters just off the coast of the main city during the final approach.
The right side is the 'ocean side' but offers the best chance to see the Canary Islands midway through the flight. For the landing at DKR, this side provides the most iconic views of the peninsula and the city's harbor. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed photos of Mount Teide.
