MRS → OUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Angads Airport (Oujda)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the French coastline and wetlands immediately after takeoff and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Moroccan-Algerian border landscape during the approach.
Camargue Wetlands
Stunning views of the pink salt pans and the unique delta geography of the Rhône river.
Balearic Silhouette
On clear days, the distant northern outlines of Menorca or Mallorca can be seen across the water.
Rif Mountain Range
The dramatic and rugged terrain of North Africa as the plane prepares to land at Angads Airport.
The right side is highly recommended for sunset flights as you'll see the sun dip into the Alboran Sea. Look down immediately after takeoff to see the white salt mounds of the Camargue. As you approach Oujda, the right side often offers a clearer view of the vast Moroccan plateau.
Marseille Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Old Port and the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica shortly after takeoff.
Mediterranean Horizon
A vast expanse of deep blue sea, often showing container ships entering the Gulf of Lion.
Algerian Borderlands
The rugged, arid hills near the Moroccan-Algerian border visible during the final descent phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled for the Calanques National Park cliffs about 5 minutes after departure. This side is also better for spotting passing aircraft on parallel airways over the Mediterranean.
