Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Menara Airport (Marrakech)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior sequence of landmarks, including the Tuscan Archipelago, the Balearic Islands, and the iconic crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, clearly visible shortly after takeoff from Pisa.
Balearic Islands
Aerial views of Mallorca and Ibiza's white sand beaches and rocky coves.
Strait of Gibraltar
A breathtaking view of the Rock of Gibraltar and the narrow passage between Europe and Africa.
Moroccan Coastline
Views of Tangier, Rabat, and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca as you track the Atlantic coast.
Marrakech Approach
An expansive view of the 'Red City' and its palm groves as the aircraft descends into Menara Airport.
The right side is unbeatable for the Strait of Gibraltar view. Sit here for morning flights to get the best lighting on the Moroccan coast. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Spanish and African convergence point.
Corsican Interior
Rugged mountain ridges and deep valleys of central Corsica visible shortly after departure.
Sardinian Shoreline
The wild eastern coast of Sardinia with its hidden coves and turquoise Mediterranean waters.
Alboran Sea
Deep blue vistas where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic influences.
High Atlas Range
Stunning views of the snow-capped Atlas peaks on the final approach into Marrakech.
Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the High Atlas mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the south as the plane turns toward the runway.
