Search flights from LPA to RAK
Lanzarote Volcanos
Stunning aerial views of Timanfaya National Park and the stark, volcanic 'lunar' landscapes of the island.
Corralejo Dunes
The bright white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura contrasted against the turquoise waters of the El Río strait.
High Atlas Peaks
A dramatic crossing of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, including views of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa.
Souss Valley
The transition from the Atlantic coast into the arid, argan-filled plains near Agadir and the Anti-Atlas foothills.
Berber Villages
Tiny, terracotta-colored settlements clinging to the steep mountain ridges as you descend toward Marrakech.
This is the superior side for this route. Early in the flight, watch for the volcanic craters of Lanzarote. The real highlight occurs in the final 20 minutes; as the plane crosses the High Atlas, the mountain views are world-class. Afternoon flights provide warm, golden lighting on the mountain faces, though morning flights offer the clearest air for photography.

Atlantic Vastness
Deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean as you leave the Canary archipelago and head toward the African mainland.
La Graciosa
Distant glimpses of the northernmost Canary Island and the Chinijo Archipelago's rugged coastlines.
Marrakech Cityscape
During final approach into RAK, views of the iconic 'Red City' and the Koutoubia Mosque minaret.
Tensift River Valley
The winding riverbed and palm groves that border the northern edge of Marrakech.
Choose this side if you want to avoid direct sunlight during morning flights, as the sun will be positioned to the south. It offers the best perspective of the city grid and the Palmeraie area if the aircraft approaches from the north on Runway 10.
