Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Marrakech to London. The left side delivers the two most dramatic moments of the flight: the High Atlas Mountains on departure and the Thames and London on approach. Over the Bay of Biscay and Iberian Peninsula the views are more symmetric, but the left side also picks up the Spanish meseta and the Pyrenees at a slight angle during the cruise.

During takeoff from Menara (RAK), sit on the Left side for the best views. Marrakech's runway 10/28 orientation means a westward departure gives the left side a direct view of the High Atlas Mountains rising immediately south of the city. The snow-capped peaks of Jebel Toubkal (4,167m, the highest in North Africa) and the surrounding Atlas range are clearly visible on the left as the aircraft climbs and turns north. The Haouz Plain and the red-ochre sprawl of Marrakech's medina also pass beneath. Notable sights include: Jebel Toubkal and High Atlas range, Marrakech medina and Djemaa el-Fna square, Haouz Plain agricultural patchwork, Tensift River valley.

When landing at Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow's primary runway orientation is 09/27 (east-west). On approach from the south on runway 27R or 27L, aircraft track westward over central London, giving the left side a prolonged view over the Thames, the City of London, and West London suburbs. The right side sees mostly suburban sprawl north of the flight path. Notable sights include: River Thames and its distinctive bends through West London, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park, Wembley Stadium arch, M25 motorway ring.

The flight from Menara (RAK) to Heathrow (LHR) takes Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 50 minutes.

After crossing the Atlas foothills, the route tracks north over the Moroccan interior and the Strait of Gibraltar (clearly visible as the narrow water gap between Africa and Europe). Over Spain, the flight crosses the Andalusian lowlands, the Sierra Morena, and the flat Castilian meseta. The Pyrenees appear near the French border. Over France, the Bay of Biscay coastline may be visible to the left depending on exact routing. The flight then crosses the English Channel before descending into London.
