Casablanca Shoreline
A spectacular view of the Hassan II Mosque's towering minaret standing directly over the Atlantic waves during descent.
The right side is highly recommended for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Atlantic. During the final approach into Casablanca (CMN), the plane often flies parallel to the coast, making this the best side to see the city's landmarks and the ocean surf. Ensure your window is clean for the descent as the coastal haze can be thick but beautiful.
