Search flights from RAK to TLS
High Atlas Range
Immediate views of North Africa's highest peaks, including Mount Toubkal, shortly after leaving Marrakech.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Spain's highest mountains near Granada, often featuring snow even in late spring, providing a sharp contrast to the arid plains below.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
The sprawling cityscape of Spain's capital is often visible in the distance as the flight traverses the central plateau.
Central Pyrenees
The most rugged and highest peaks of the border range, including Aneto, offer a breathtaking transition into France.
The Pink City
A beautiful aerial perspective of Toulouse's terracotta architecture and the Garonne River during the final approach.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Atlas range and roughly 45-60 minutes in for the Sierra Nevada. During the descent, the Pyrenees offer a massive wall of rock and ice that is best viewed from this side. For the best lighting on these features, try to book a mid-morning or midday flight.

Strait of Gibraltar Entrance
View the narrow gap where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea as you cross from Africa to Europe.
Seville and Guadalquivir
Glimpse the historic Andalusian capital and the winding river that cuts through the fertile plains of southern Spain.
Western Pyrenees
The greener, lower slopes of the Pyrenees mountains as the aircraft begins its approach into southern France.
Atlantic Horizon
During late afternoon flights, enjoy the golden hour glow reflecting off the Atlantic coast of Morocco and Portugal.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It is particularly good for spotting the Atlantic coastline of Morocco during the initial climb out of Marrakech and seeing the western extent of the Pyrenees mountains. Look out for the distinct shape of the Cadiz coastline as you enter Spanish airspace.
