MRS β NDR
Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Nador International Airport (El Aroui)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the French coast at takeoff, the scenic western peaks of Mallorca, and the iconic Mar Chica lagoon upon arrival in Nador.
Camargue Wetlands
The sprawling marshes and salt pans of the RhΓ΄ne delta, known for its unique pink hues and wildlife.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range forming the backbone of western Mallorca.
Mar Chica Lagoon
The massive saltwater lagoon of Nador, easily identified by the thin strip of land separating it from the sea.
Melilla Enclave
The Spanish city of Melilla is clearly visible adjacent to Nador during the final approach.
Spanish Coastline
Distant views of the Costa Brava and the Catalan mountains depending on the specific air corridor.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights as the sun sets over the Iberian Peninsula. The highlight is the approach to Nador International Airport, where the Mar Chica lagoon and Mount Gurugu dominate the landscape.
Marseille Bay
Aerial view of the Frioul Islands and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean immediately after departure.
Menorca Coastline
Clear views of the northern, more rugged capes and turquoise coves of the Balearic Islands.
Eastern Rif Mountains
The dramatic arid peaks of northeastern Morocco as the flight begins its descent into Nador.
Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast sea, particularly striking during midday sun reflections.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the Calanques National Park if the flight path takes a southern exit from MRS.
