Marseille & Calanques
Stunning views of the Old Port, Notre-Dame de la Garde, and the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park immediately after takeoff.
Balearic Islands
Clear sightings of Menorca and the rugged northern coastline of Mallorca as the flight path crosses the Mediterranean.
Alboran Sea
Expansive views of the westernmost Mediterranean, often showcasing deep turquoise gradients near the North African coast.
Rif Mountain Range
A close-up view of the jagged, green-tinted peaks of northern Morocco during the initial descent phase.
Fes el Bali
Aerial perspective of the sprawling, ancient medina and its labyrinthine streets just before landing at Saïss Airport.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare while capturing the French Riviera's coastline. During the descent into Fes, the left side typically offers a better view of the city's historic core as the aircraft maneuvers toward the runway. Watch for the dramatic transition from the blue Mediterranean to the arid, golden landscapes of North Africa.

Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans, lagoons, and marshes of the Rhone Delta visible shortly after leaving Marseille airspace.
Distant Pyrenees
On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible on the far western horizon.
Spanish Levant
Distances views of the Spanish coastline near Valencia and Alicante as the plane traverses the sea.
Strait of Gibraltar
A far-off view of the gateway between the Atlantic and Mediterranean, where the two continents nearly meet.
Sebou River Valley
The fertile agricultural plains and meandering river systems that characterize the approach to the Saïss plateau.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights, providing a front-row seat to the sun dipping below the Mediterranean horizon. Keep an eye out for the Spanish coast; while often distant, the contrast of the sea and the Iberian mountains is striking. Ensure your window is clean, as the western glare can highlight any smudges or scratches on the plexiglass.
