Sahara Dunes
The mesmerizing, shifting orange sand dunes of Mauritania and Western Sahara visible for hundreds of miles.
High Atlas
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of Morocco's tallest mountain range providing a stark contrast to the desert.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic geographic pinch point where the African continent nearly touches the southern tip of Europe.
Castile Plateau
The golden, arid heartland of central Spain, featuring historic towns and unique agricultural patterns.
Ile-de-France

The right side is superior for daytime flights to maximize the vibrant colors of the Sahara. In winter months, the snow-covered Atlas Mountains are a major highlight. To avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the desert, choose a seat well forward of the wing.
