RAK → DLE
Which side of the plane to sit from Menara Airport (Marrakech) to Dole-Tavaux Airport (Dole)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the most dramatic mountain ranges, including the Atlas peaks at departure, the Spanish Sierra Nevada, and the central Pyrenees, plus distant views of the Alps on approach.
High Atlas Range
Immediate views after takeoff from Marrakech of the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas, including Mount Toubkal.
Sierra Nevada
Stunning vistas of mainland Spain's highest peaks near Granada, which remain white for much of the year.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the rugged, high-altitude border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
Fly over the unique volcanic landscapes and deep river gorges of south-central France.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the majestic silhouette of Mont Blanc and the Swiss Alps is visible on the eastern horizon during the descent.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers. During morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. Look out approximately 20 minutes before landing for the Jura Mountains, which mark the final approach into Dole-Tavaux.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Dramatic views of the rugged coastline where the Sahara desert meets the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean.
Strait of Gibraltar
The western entrance to the Mediterranean, showing the narrow gap between the African and European continents.
Madrid & Central Meseta
Aerial views of the sprawling Spanish capital and the high, arid plains of central Spain.
Loire Valley
As the flight nears Dole, enjoy the view of the lush 'Garden of France' with its winding rivers and historic estates.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is the best side for spotting the Portuguese coast in the distance and the agricultural patterns of western France. Keep an eye out for the Bay of Biscay as you cross northern Spain.
