Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Menara Airport (Marrakech)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the snow-capped Pyrenees, moving to the vibrant Mediterranean coastline of Spain, and concluding with a panoramic approach toward the High Atlas Mountains.
The Pyrenees Range
Dramatic aerial views of the craggy peaks and deep valleys forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Spanish Mediterranean
Visibility of the Costa Blanca and the turquoise waters of the Balearic Sea as you track south.
Rif Mountains
The first glimpse of Africa, featuring the rugged and often green northern mountain range of Morocco.
Fez & Middle Atlas
Bird's-eye view of the ancient urban layouts of central Morocco and the transitioning desert-mountain terrain.
High Atlas Peaks
A stunning finale with views of North Africa's highest peaks, often snow-capped from November to April.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun illuminating the Pyrenees and Atlas ranges. During the final descent into Marrakech, the Left side provides the most direct view of the mountain backdrop that frames the city. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees crossing.
The Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain, characterized by unique agricultural patterns and dry riverbeds.
Strait of Gibraltar
A classic view of the narrow passage where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean, often filled with cargo ships.
Casablanca & Atlantic Coast
If the flight path hugs the coast, you can see the white architecture of Casablanca and the Atlantic surf.
Haouz Plain
The arid, reddish landscape surrounding Marrakech, showcasing the contrast between desert and irrigation.
The Right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side offers a better view of the Strait of Gibraltar's entrance. On clear days, you may see the Spanish city of Seville or the Portuguese border in the distance as you fly south over the Iberian Peninsula.
