Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular geographic transition from the lush tropical highlands of Guinea to the immense, orange sand dunes of the Sahara and the rugged peaks of the Atlas Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌳

Upper Guinea Forest

Dense, vibrant green tropical rainforests visible during the initial climb from Monrovia.

⛰️

Fouta Djallon

The striking sandstone plateaus and deep canyons of Guinea, often referred to as the water tower of West Africa.

🏜️

Sahara Sand Seas

The mesmerizing ergs (sand seas) of Mauritania, featuring complex orange and red dune patterns.

🌋

Adrar Plateau

A dramatic landscape of rocky desert and ancient canyons in central Mauritania.

🏔️

Anti-Atlas Mountains

The rugged, ancient volcanic peaks that mark the southern boundary of the Moroccan interior.

The right side is significantly more scenic during daylight hours. To see the Sahara's textures best, aim for a morning flight when long shadows define the dunes. If the flight path takes a slightly inland route, keep a sharp eye out for the Eye of the Sahara (Richat Structure) in Mauritania. As you approach Morocco, look for the transition from arid desert to the fertile green plains near Berrechid.

Left Side Highlights
6.4
🏖️

West African Coastline

Glancing views of the rugged beaches of Sierra Leone and the Grain Coast shortly after departure.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean where the water meets the sky at the edge of the continent.

🐚

Dakhla Peninsula

The unique white sand spit and turquoise lagoon of Western Sahara, visible where the desert meets the sea.

🕌

Casablanca Shoreline

The coastal skyline of Casablanca, featuring the iconic Hassan II Mosque minaret during the final descent.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. It is also the better side for spotting the distinct white dunes of the Dakhla region where the Sahara terminates at the ocean. During descent into CMN, this side often provides a better view of the city's maritime industrial zones and the Atlantic surf.
