Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, the iconic Rock of Gibraltar, and the dramatic meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Moroccan Sahara desert.
Costa Brava & Barcelona
Excellent views of the Catalan coastline and the urban sprawl of Barcelona as the plane tracks southwest.
Rock of Gibraltar
A highlight of the trip, where you can see the famous limestone monolith and the narrow gap between Europe and Africa.
Casablanca Skyline
Look for the towering minaret of the Hassan II Mosque, one of the few landmarks visible from high altitude along the coast.
Atlantic Coastline
The stark contrast between the deep blue Atlantic waves and the golden Moroccan sands as you approach Agadir.
Souss-Massa Horizon
During the final descent, enjoy the panoramic view of the Atlantic horizon and the winding Souss river.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal enthusiasts. For late afternoon flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to fully capture the Strait of Gibraltar crossing.
Calanques National Park
Immediately after takeoff from Marseille, view the stunning limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets of the French Riviera.
Rif Mountains
As you enter Moroccan airspace, the rugged, green peaks of the Rif range provide a dramatic introduction to Africa.
High Atlas Peaks
On the inland approach to Agadir, witness the snow-capped summits of the Atlas Mountains, including Toubkal in the distance.
Marrakesh
Often visible as a terracotta-colored expanse nestled at the foot of the mountains shortly before the descent begins.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for viewing the interior geography of Morocco, specifically the majestic Atlas range. Keep an eye out for the Ebro Delta when crossing the Spanish coast.
