MUC → RAK
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Menara Airport (Marrakech)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including a deep look into the High Alps, the stunning Mediterranean coastline, the Rock of Gibraltar, and a dramatic final approach alongside the High Atlas Mountains.
High Alps & Glaciers
Breathtaking views of the Swiss and Italian Alpine peaks shortly after departure from Munich.
French Riviera
Glittering turquoise waters and coastal cities like Nice and Cannes as you cross the Mediterranean coast.
Balearic Sea
Aerial views of the deep blue Mediterranean with distant glimpses of Ibiza and Mallorca.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, located near Granada.
Strait of Gibraltar
The narrow crossing between Europe and Africa, with the Rock of Gibraltar frequently visible.
High Atlas Mountains
Dramatic, towering peaks that define the skyline as you descend toward Marrakech.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Alps. Look out approximately 2.5 hours into the flight for the transition from Spain to Morocco over the Strait of Gibraltar.
Lake Constance
The vast lake bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria shortly after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
The rugged mountain range forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plateaus of central Spain stretching toward the horizon.
Atlantic Coastline
The crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean as the flight tracks along the western Moroccan coast.
Marrakech Medina
A bird's-eye view of the 'Red City' and its intricate street patterns during the final landing phase.
The right side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Spanish interior and the Atlantic coastline of Morocco. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare. During the final approach into RAK, keep your camera ready for the distinctive red-clay architecture of the city.
