OUZ → CMN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tazadit Airport (Zouerat) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Mauritania's massive iron mines and the dramatic transition from the Sahara desert to the rugged Anti-Atlas and snow-capped High Atlas mountain ranges.

Zouerat Iron Mines
Massive open-pit mines and the Kediet ej Jill mountain, which contains so much iron it disrupts compasses.
Sahara Erg & Reg
Endless expanses of shifting sand dunes (ergs) and rocky plateaus (regs) unique to the Mauritanian interior.
The Anti-Atlas Range
Ancient, weathered mountain formations that look like a lunar landscape from 30,000 feet.
High Atlas Peaks
In winter and spring, the snow-capped peaks of Mount Toubkal and the surrounding range are visible in the distance.
Haouz Plain
The transition from arid desert to the fertile, irrigated agricultural lands surrounding the inland city of Marrakech.
The right side is best during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your window shade open immediately after takeoff from OUZ to see the incredible scale of the iron ore operations and the unique geology of the Adrar plateau.

Atlantic Horizon
As the plane tracks north, the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean contrasts sharply with the golden Saharan sands.
Western Sahara Coastline
Striking views of the remote, desolate beaches and cliffs where the desert meets the sea.
Agadir Bay
A clear view of the crescent-shaped beach and the bustling port city of Agadir as you enter Moroccan airspace.
Essaouira Coast
The historic white-walled 'Wind City' of the Atlantic is visible along the shoreline during the descent phase.
Mazagan Peninsula
The fortified city of El Jadida and its surrounding resorts are clearly visible just before the final approach into CMN.
Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to watch the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better for spotting the coastal fog banks that frequently roll in from the sea toward the Moroccan mainland.
