Which side of the plane to sit from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual progression from the tropical forests of West Africa through the mesmerizing textures of the Sahara Desert, culminating in the dramatic peaks of the Atlas Mountains.
Sahara Sand Seas
Vast stretches of the Ergs and shifting sand dunes across Mali and Mauritania.
The Atlas Mountains
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas as the plane enters Moroccan airspace.
Sahel Transition
The ecological transition zone where tropical greenery turns into the arid Sahelian landscape.
Berber Settlements
Ancient, red-earth villages and terraced farming nestled in the Moroccan valleys.
Richat Structure
Potential views of the 'Eye of the Sahara' in Mauritania depending on the specific flight corridor.
Select the right side for daytime flights to maximize visibility of the desert's complex geology. Use a window seat to see the sharp contrast of the Atlas Mountains against the desert floor. Morning flights are ideal as the low sun creates long shadows that emphasize the mountain topography.
Gulf of Guinea Coast
Immediate views of the Nigerian coastline and the busy shipping lanes of the Atlantic Ocean.
Lagos Skyline
Aerial perspective of Victoria Island and the Lagos Lagoon during the initial climb.
Western Saharan Shores
The striking visual contrast where the golden Saharan sands meet the deep blue of the Atlantic.
Atlantic Sunset
Perfect positioning for spectacular sunset views over the ocean on evening flights.
Choose the left side for evening departures to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. During the approach to Casablanca, this side often provides views of the Moroccan coastline and the bustling port areas.
