Errachidia to Casablanca is 210 miles (338 km), a flight of about 1 hour 15 minutes.
The takeoff climb provides more dramatic and sustained scenery with the High Atlas Mountains dominating the view. While the landing approach offers coastal interest, the mountain views during departure are more visually distinctive and geographically significant for this route.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the High Atlas range, descending from the eastern plateau toward the Atlantic coastal plain. Notable features include the Atlas ridgeline with its highest peaks (Jbel Ayachi region visible during climb), the transition zone where the mountains give way to the Casablanca-Settat plain, and the gradual descent over agricultural lands toward the coast. The Draa and Oum Er-Rbia river valleys may be visible as green corridors cutting through the terrain during the western portion of the flight.
