Which side of the plane to sit from Angads Airport (Oujda) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior perspective for the descent into Marseille, featuring the stunning limestone cliffs of the Calanques and a direct view of the city's historic harbor before touchdown.
Balearic Archipelago
Depending on the flight path, look out for the northern tips of Ibiza or Mallorca appearing in the sea.
Massif des Calanques
Brilliant white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets stretching between Cassis and Marseille.
Notre-Dame de la Garde
The famous basilica perched on the hill overlooking Marseille is often visible during the final descent.
Marseille Vieux-Port
A clear view of the historic Old Port and the bustling maritime activity of France's second-largest city.
Stade Vélodrome
The distinctive white roof of the iconic football stadium can be spotted as you bank toward the airport.
The right side is essential for the scenic arrival. For the best lighting, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French coastline. During the landing phase, the plane often circles the Bay of Marseille, providing world-class urban and coastal views.
Oriental Region
Panoramic views of the arid landscape around Oujda and the border between Morocco and Algeria during initial climb.
Mediterranean Crossing
The transition from the African continent to the deep blue waters of the Alboran Sea.
Spanish Coastline
Distant views of the Costa Brava and the Gulf of Lion as the plane tracks north toward France.
Camargue Wetlands
On final approach, catch a glimpse of the salt pans and marshes of the Camargue to the west.
Sit on the left if you want to see the sun setting over the Mediterranean on late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the Spanish mainland in the distance during the middle portion of the journey.
