Alboran Sea Coast
The sparkling Mediterranean coastline as the aircraft crosses from Algeria into Moroccan airspace.
Rif Mountains
The limestone peaks and valleys of northern Morocco, often visible on clear days to the north.
Rabat and Salé
A clear view of the Bouregreg River separating the capital from its sister city on the Atlantic coast.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the ocean as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into Casablanca.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Look out for the Hassan II Mosque's minaret on the Casablanca shoreline during the descent if the flight path follows the coastal corridor.

Tell Atlas Range
Dramatic mountain ridges stretching across northwestern Algeria shortly after takeoff from Oran.
Tlemcen Highlands
The rugged plateau surrounding the historic 'City of Cherries' near the Moroccan border.
Fez Medina
Views of the sprawling Saïss Plain and the dense urban layout of Morocco's spiritual capital.
Agricultural Plains
Geometric patterns of fertile farmlands between Meknes and the approach to Casablanca.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. In winter, this side offers the best chance to see snow-capped peaks in the Middle Atlas range to the south of the flight path.
