CMN (Casablanca) window seat guide

At Mohammed V in Casablanca: for takeoff, sit on the Right side; for landing, sit on the Left side. Notable views include: Atlantic Ocean coastline, Casablanca urban sprawl and port to the north, Hassan II Mosque (visible briefly on the right if seated forward), coastal farmland transitioning to arid plains inland.

When taking off from Mohammed V (CMN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing on runway 17R, aircraft climb out heading south-southeast, roughly parallel to the Atlantic coastline. This puts the ocean and coastal strip on the right side of the aircraft, with a chance to glimpse Casablanca's waterfront and the Hassan II Mosque off to the north-right as the plane climbs. Notable sights include: Atlantic Ocean coastline, Casablanca urban sprawl and port to the north, Hassan II Mosque (visible briefly on the right if seated forward), coastal farmland transitioning to arid plains inland.

When landing at Mohammed V (CMN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on 35L means approaching from the south with the aircraft heading roughly north-northwest, so the Atlantic coastline runs along the left side of the plane. Passengers on the left get a clear view of the shoreline and the sprawl of Casablanca's southern suburbs before touchdown, while the right side mostly shows flat agricultural plains inland. Notable sights include: Atlantic coastline, Casablanca's southern suburbs, Bouskoura forest patches, scattered coastal towns south of the city.

The best window seat at Mohammed V (CMN) depends on several factors: the typical runway used for your departure or arrival, the geographic features around Casablanca (mountains, coastlines, city skylines), weather conditions, and time of day. Morning and evening flights often offer the best lighting for scenic views.
