Which side of the plane to sit from Menara Airport (Marrakech) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side (Port) offers an unparalleled vantage point of the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains, including Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, and the intricate Berber villages nestled in the valleys.
Mount Toubkal
Direct views of the highest peak in the High Atlas and North Africa, often covered in snow during winter months.
Berber Mountain Villages
Traditional red-clay settlements clinging to steep mountain slopes and nestled within deep river valleys.
Sous Valley
The transition from the rugged mountains to the fertile, arid plains that stretch toward the Atlantic coast.
Tizi n'Test Pass
A bird's-eye view of the winding roads and dramatic drops of one of Morocco's most famous mountain passes.
Book a window seat on the left to capture the most dramatic mountain photography. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Atlas peaks, though afternoon flights provide a warmer glow. In winter, the contrast between the red earth and white snow is spectacular.
Marrakech Medina
A view of the historic red city walls and the iconic Koutoubia Mosque minaret shortly after takeoff.
Haouz Plain
The vast, flat agricultural landscape that separates Marrakech from the northern foothills of the Atlas.
Atlantic Ocean Horizon
As the plane descends toward Agadir, the shimmering blue of the Atlantic becomes visible on the horizon.
Agadir Coastline
Clear views of the crescent-shaped Agadir bay and the city's modern layout during the final approach.
The right side is better for seeing the layout of Marrakech and the coastline upon arrival in Agadir. If the wind requires an approach from the sea, this side offers the best views of the Agadir Oufella ruins and the beach. Opt for a flight during 'Golden Hour' for stunning light over the Atlantic.
