Lisbon Waterfront
Exceptional views of the Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, and the iconic bridge immediately after departing LIS.
Costa Vicentina
The wild and rugged coastline of the Alentejo region, featuring sheer cliffs and turquoise Atlantic waters.
Cape Saint Vincent
The dramatic southwesternmost point of mainland Europe, where the continent meets the open Atlantic Ocean.
Mazagan & El Jadida
The Moroccan coastline near El Jadida, known for its historic Portuguese fortification and beautiful lagoons.
Haouz Plain
The arid, reddish landscapes surrounding Marrakech that highlight the transition into the Saharan climate zone.
Select a seat on the right (typically 'F' seats) for the best coastal views. This side is especially rewarding on afternoon flights as the sun begins to set over the Atlantic, casting a golden light on the Portuguese cliffs. For the best view of Lisbon city, ensure the flight is departing toward the south (Runway 17), which is the standard configuration for this route.

Vasco da Gama Bridge
View of the 12-kilometer long bridge spanning the Tagus Estuary, one of Europe's longest engineering marvels.
Alentejo Hinterland
Rolling hills of cork oaks and vineyards that characterize the rural heart of southern Portugal.
Casablanca Silhouette
On clear days, the distant minaret of the Hassan II Mosque can be spotted along the Moroccan coastline.
High Atlas Mountains
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Atlas peaks that serve as a majestic backdrop when approaching Marrakech from the north.
Marrakech Palmeraie
The lush green palm groves contrasting against the ochre-colored earth as the flight begins its final descent.
Sit on the left (typically 'A' seats) if your priority is the 'Grand Reveal' of the Atlas Mountains. For the best photography of the mountains, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. During the descent into RAK, keep an eye out for the distinctive red walls of the old Medina and the Koutoubia Mosque.
