FAQs
Yes. Safety is our top priority. All our flights are operated under the approval of the Moroccan Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC). Our pilots are fully licensed and highly experienced, and our equipment is regularly inspected. Weather conditions are carefully checked before every flight to ensure maximum safety
Most flights reach between 500 and 1,000 meters above the ground, depending on weather and wind. This is high enough to enjoy panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains, valleys, and Berber villages, but always within safe altitude limits
Comfortable, casual clothing is best. We recommend:
-
Closed flat shoes (no sandals or high heels)
-
A light jacket (mornings can be cool)
-
Sunglasses and a hat
Since you’ll be standing during the flight, dress as if you were going for a light outdoor walk.
The flight itself lasts 40 to 60 minutes depending on conditions, but the full experience (pickup, flight, breakfast, return) takes about 3 to 4 hours
Flights are scheduled early in the morning, just after sunrise, when the winds are calm and the light is magical for photography. Pickup times vary with the season (usually between 5:30 am and 7:00 am).
