RAK โ BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Menara Airport (Marrakech) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains during the initial climb out of Marrakech, followed by the best angles for the Pyrenees and the Paris skyline.
High Atlas Mountains
Dramatic, rugged peaks (often snow-capped in winter) immediately visible after takeoff from RAK.
Madrid & Central Iberia
Panoramic views of the Spanish capital and the arid, high-altitude Meseta Central plateau.
The Pyrenees
The massive natural wall of mountains separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.
Paris Skyline
The sprawling French capital is often visible to the east during the mid-to-late cruise phase.
Brussels Approach
Descending over the dense urban clusters and green fields of Wallonia and Flanders towards BRU.
The right side is essential for seeing the Atlas Mountains during the first 15 minutes of flight. On clear days, the Pyrenees crossing is the highlight of the journey. During the final approach into Brussels Airport, this side often offers a glimpse of the Atomium if landing on the 25-runways.
Atlantic Coastline
Glittering views of the Moroccan coast, including Casablanca and the mouth of the Bou Regreg river.
Strait of Gibraltar
The narrow gateway where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, with the Rock of Gibraltar visible to the east.
Costa de la Luz
The golden sandy beaches and marshes of the Gulf of Cรกdiz in southern Spain.
Bordeaux Region
The vast vineyards of the Gironde estuary as the flight crosses into western France.
Loire Valley
The winding 'Garden of France' with its numerous historic chateaux and river bends.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views if flying in the late afternoon or evening. This side provides a better perspective of the coastal transition between Africa and Europe. Keep an eye out for the Cape Spartel lighthouse near Tangier.
