Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic Saharan coastline where the desert meets the Atlantic, alongside a panoramic view of Agadir's bay and the historic Kasbah during the final approach.
Atlantic Ocean Panoramas
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic and the whitecaps formed by the trade winds.
Laayoune & Tarfaya Coast
The stunning visual of the Sahara desert's golden dunes crashing directly into the turquoise ocean waves.
Agadir City & Bay
A perfect view of the city's crescent-shaped beach and the modern promenade during the descent.
Agadir Oufella Ruins
The historic 16th-century Kasbah situated on a hill overlooking the harbor, clearly visible on the final leg.
Agadir Port
One of Morocco's largest fishing ports, bustling with activity as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of the Moroccan coastline. On afternoon flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun. As the plane banks for its final approach to Al Massira, the right side typically offers the best photo opportunities of the city and the 'Agadir Oufella' hill.
Gran Canaria Volcanic Interior
Aerial views of the island's rugged central peaks and the Caldera de Bandama shortly after takeoff.
Fuerteventura Shoreline
Glimpses of the southern Jandia peninsula and its vast white sand beaches as you cross the Atlantic.
Anti-Atlas Mountains
The arid, rocky ridges of the Lesser Atlas range appearing as the flight moves inland toward the airport.
Souss Valley Agriculture
A patchwork of citrus groves and argan forests typical of the fertile Souss-Massa region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun rising over the African landmass. It provides a better view of the southern Canary Islands' topography before heading out over open water. Keep an eye out for the unique circular agricultural patterns near Agadir.
