Jbilets Hills
Dark, rugged rock formations that provide a stark contrast to the surrounding desert plains.
Berrechid Plains
The 'breadbasket' of Morocco, featuring a colorful patchwork of cereal crops and agriculture.
Oum Er-Rbia River
A major Moroccan river that winds through the central plains toward the coast.
Hassan II Mosque
During specific northern landing patterns, the world's second-tallest minaret can be spotted on the horizon.
