Which side of the plane to sit from Rabat-Salé Airport (Rabat) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a magnificent perspective of the Atlantic coastline and the world-famous Hassan II Mosque as you descend into Casablanca.
Hassan II Mosque
The massive minaret and ornate structure built directly on the Atlantic shoreline.
Atlantic Coastline
Stunning views of the breaking waves and rugged rocky outcrops along the coast.
Bouznika Beaches
Clear views of the popular golden sand beaches and coastal resorts.
Port of Casablanca
A massive industrial hub filled with cargo ships and commercial activity.
Udayas Kasbah
The blue and white historic fortress overlooking the ocean at the start of the flight.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights as the sun dips into the Atlantic. This side provides the best chance to see Casablanca's skyline during the final approach. Since the flight is extremely short, ensure your window is clear and your camera is ready immediately after takeoff from Rabat.
Chellah Necropolis
Ancient Roman and medieval ruins located on the edge of the Bouregreg valley.
Maâmora Forest
The green expanse of the world's largest cork oak forest stretching inland.
Urban Expansion
The dense residential corridors and suburban growth of Temara and Skhirat.
Chaouia Plains
Vibrant agricultural mosaics that characterize the fertile Moroccan heartland.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid sun glare while viewing the inland historic sites. Keep an eye out early for the winding Bouregreg River which separates Rabat from Salé.
