SVQ → RAK
Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Menara Airport (Marrakech)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Atlantic-Mediterranean junction, the iconic Strait of Gibraltar, and the dramatic approach toward the High Atlas Mountains.
Doñana National Park
A stunning mosaic of marshes and dunes where the Guadalquivir river meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Strait of Gibraltar
The famous nautical bottleneck where Europe and Africa nearly touch, with heavy shipping traffic visible below.
Atlantic Coastline
Scenic views of the beaches near Tangier and the transition into the arid plains of central Morocco.
High Atlas Mountains
As the plane approaches Marrakech, the majestic, often snow-peaked High Atlas range dominates the horizon.
Choose the right side for the most iconic geographical transition between continents. For sunset flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the sun dipping into the Atlantic Ocean during the descent into Marrakech.
Sevilla Cityscape
Immediate views of the Giralda tower and the winding Guadalquivir River as the aircraft climbs out of Sevilla.
Sierra Nevada
Distant but clear views of the snow-capped peaks of southern Spain, including Mulhacén, to the east.
Costa del Sol
The dense white-washed coastal developments along the Mediterranean shore before the sea crossing begins.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, green-tinted ridges of northern Morocco's Rif range as the flight enters African airspace.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the expansive agriculture of the Guadalquivir valley and the eastern Mediterranean coastline.
