Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Canary Islands archipelago shortly after takeoff and follows the diverse Moroccan coastline and the distant Atlas Mountains throughout the flight.
Canarian Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote shortly after departing Gran Canaria.
Saharan Coastline
The dramatic meeting point where the golden sands of the Moroccan Sahara meet the turquoise Atlantic waters.
Atlas Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas range are visible in the distance to the east.
Moroccan Plains
The transition from desert to the fertile, green agricultural grids of the Souss-Massa region.
Agadir and Safi
Key coastal cities appearing as white clusters against the dark North African terrain.
The right side is best for geography lovers. Take an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminating the Atlas Mountains. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the islands during the first 20 minutes of flight.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the distant horizon for most of the cruise.
Shipping Lanes
Frequent sightings of large cargo vessels and tankers navigating the busy maritime routes toward the Strait of Gibraltar.
Hassan II Mosque
During the final approach into CMN, the iconic minaret and the mosque's coastal position are often visible.
Casablanca Shoreline
A panoramic view of the Atlantic crashing against the modern urban sprawl of Casablanca's beachfront.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Hassan II Mosque during the final descent, especially if the plane approaches from the north. Morning flights offer better lighting for the ocean without the sun's glare.
