Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar and the stunning transition from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic coastline of Morocco.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Barcelona & Costa Brava

A breathtaking view of the Catalan capital and its famous grid-like Eixample district along the coast.

🌊

Balearic Sea

Expansive views of the turquoise Mediterranean waters with occasional sights of the Balearic Islands in the distance.

⛰️

Rock of Gibraltar

The legendary limestone monolith marking the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and the tip of Europe.

🌊

Atlantic Ocean Arrival

The final approach follows the Atlantic coast, offering views of the crashing surf and the white architecture of Rabat.

This is the premier side for maritime enthusiasts. During the mid-flight, keep your eyes peeled for the Strait of Gibraltar; visibility is best in the early afternoon. Upon arrival in Casablanca, the aircraft often turns over the ocean, providing a panoramic view of the Hassan II Mosque's minaret on the shoreline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

The Pyrenees

Distant views of the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain shortly after departure.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, arid high plateau of central Spain, featuring deep ochre and terracotta earth tones.

⛰️

The Rif Mountains

The first Moroccan landmass encountered, characterized by rugged green ridges and deep valleys.

💧

Sebou River Basin

Winding silver rivers cutting through the fertile plains of northern Morocco near Kenitra.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a better perspective of the Spanish interior's unique geology and the agricultural patterns of the Moroccan Gharb plain during the initial descent phase.
