The westernmost edge of continental Europe where the land drops off into the deep Atlantic Ocean.
Tangier & African Coast

Marrakech Medina
On many standard landing patterns, this side offers a bird's-eye view of the ancient red city and the Koutoubia Mosque.
The right side is the winner for sunset flights, offering a front-row seat to the sun dipping into the Atlantic. For photography, wait until you cross the Spanish coast for the best light. This side typically provides better views of the 'Red City' of Marrakech just before touchdown if the aircraft approaches from the north.

South Downs & Coast
Aerial views of the lush rolling hills of Southern England and the white cliffs near the English Channel.

High Atlas Mountains
Massive mountain ridges rising sharply from the Moroccan plains during the final descent into Marrakech.
The left side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the High Atlas mountains as you approach Marrakech from the north. On morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare and heat; keep your window shade down when not viewing to stay cool.
