TTU โ AHU
Which side of the plane to sit from Saniat R'mel Airport (Tetouan) to Cherif Al Idrissi Airport (Al Hociema)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic Rif Mountain range and the rugged, indented coastline of northern Morocco, providing significantly more visual variety than the open sea.
Rif Mountain Peaks
Breathtaking views of the limestone ridges and steep slopes that define the northern Moroccan landscape.
Tassemtane Forest
Distant glimpses of rare Moroccan Fir forests and lush greenery within the high-altitude national park.
Isolated Calas
Small, turquoise bays and rocky coves along the Mediterranean coast that are largely inaccessible by land.
Peรฑรณn de Alhucemas
The historic Spanish fortress island sitting prominently in the bay as you approach for landing.
This is the superior side for photography. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the mountain faces. Ensure you are looking out during the final 10 minutes of the flight to capture the dramatic cliffs of the Al Hoceima coastline and the city's unique white architecture.
Alboran Sea
Expansive views of the westernmost Mediterranean waters stretching toward the horizon.
Maritime Corridors
Visuals of international shipping lanes with cargo vessels and ferries transiting the region.
Martil Coastline
The long sandy stretches and seaside resorts located just north of the Tetouan departure path.
Choose this side for a more tranquil experience with less direct sun glare during afternoon flights. It is ideal for spotting the distant silhouette of the Iberian Peninsula on exceptionally clear days.
