About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Dublin (DUB) to Menara (RAK)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dublin to Marrakech. The landing approach to Menara with the High Atlas Mountains dominates the visual experience on this route. While the takeoff from Dublin offers the Wicklow Mountains, the Atlas range is far more dramatic and snow-capped. Left-side seats capture the best of both: Irish Sea and mountains on departure, then the full Alpine spectacle on arrival.
