Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of the rugged Rif Mountains and a dramatic coastal approach over the Atlantic Ocean, including views of the capital, Rabat, during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Rif Mountains

Rugged limestone peaks and deep green valleys of the northern mountain chain.

🛤️

Taza Corridor

The historic natural mountain pass that serves as the gateway between east and west.

🌊

Atlantic Coastline

The stunning transition to the deep blue horizon of the ocean during the final descent.

🏛️

Rabat Cityscape

Aerial perspective of the capital city's historic minarets and the Bou Regreg river.

🏙️

Casablanca Suburbs

The sprawling white architecture of Morocco's economic hub emerging as you land.

Choose the right side to see the coastline as you approach Casablanca. This side provides excellent views of the city of Rabat and the Atlantic Ocean during the final 20 minutes of the flight. Afternoon flights offer a beautiful sunset view over the water.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

High Plateaus

Expansive arid landscapes stretching toward the Algerian border at the start of the journey.

🏔️

Middle Atlas Range

Distant views of snow-capped peaks and cedar forests visible to the south.

🌾

Saïss Plain

The fertile agricultural heartland between Fes and Meknes seen mid-flight.

💧

Moulouya River

The winding path of Morocco's primary river system carving through the dry terrain.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Middle Atlas mountains. Morning flights provide the best light on the southern slopes, and winter offers the most dramatic snow-covered peaks. This side is better for seeing the interior's geographic diversity.
