Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Marrakech to Casablanca. Right-side seats win overall because the takeoff view of the High Atlas Mountains is more dramatic and sustained than the landing approach. The mountain scenery dominates the first 20 minutes of flight, whereas the landing view, while interesting, is compressed into the final 10 minutes of descent.

During takeoff from Menara (RAK), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Atlas Mountains immediately after departure. Marrakech typically departs runway 09 (westbound) or 27 (eastbound); either direction offers mountain views, but right seats maximize the High Atlas range as it rises steeply south and east of the airport during the initial climb. Notable sights include: High Atlas Mountains (snow-capped peaks visible in winter/spring), Marrakech medina and Koutoubia Mosque (small but identifiable in the immediate foreground), Haouz Lake (visible as a rectangular water body west of the city), foothills descending northward toward the Tensift River plain.

When landing at Mohammed V (CMN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats provide the best view during descent into Casablanca. Mohammed V typically uses runways 09/27; on approach from the south (standard routing from Marrakech), left-side seats face the Atlantic coast, the Hassan II Mosque, and the medina as the aircraft descends over the city. Notable sights include: Atlantic Ocean (visible as a dark blue expanse to the west), Hassan II Mosque (distinctive white structure on the waterfront, identifiable even at altitude), Casablanca medina and port facilities (tan-colored urban grid), Anfa district and modern high-rises (visible as a lighter cluster inland from the coast).

The flight from Menara (RAK) to Mohammed V (CMN) takes Approximately 1 hour 10 minutes.

The flight path runs roughly north-northeast from Marrakech to Casablanca, crossing the Tensift River plain and the western foothills of the Atlas. At midpoint (around 35 minutes), the aircraft passes over the Rehamna Mountains (a lower range west of the High Atlas), visible as rolling terrain to the right. The Draa River valley may be glimpsed to the southeast (right) depending on exact routing. As the flight progresses northward, the landscape transitions from mountainous terrain to coastal plains. The Atlantic coast becomes visible on the left around 50 minutes into the flight, with the Casablanca-Mohammedia industrial zone appearing as a linear development along the shore in the final approach phase.
